Sources

The datasets behind every figure on this site, and how often they are refreshed.

All premium figures on this site derive from a single dataset, refreshed on a monthly cycle.

Primary dataset

FEMA OpenFEMA — NFIP Redacted Policies, version 2. Policy transaction records for the National Flood Insurance Program, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and anonymised to census tract and ZIP code level.

Reference sources for zone definitions

Flood zone descriptions follow FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map conventions. To find the zone for a specific property, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov.

Refresh schedule

FEMA updates the policy file approximately monthly. We recalculate every published figure on each refresh and record the date in the site footer.

This site uses data from the FEMA OpenFEMA API but is not endorsed by FEMA. The Federal Government or FEMA cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from the agency.
