Sources: FEMA National Risk Index v1.20 (December 2025), county building loss rates ranked against 3,200+ US counties and county equivalents; FEMA NFIP residential penetration rates as of August 3, 2026. A dash means FEMA's table gives no usable count: in a few counties it lists more insured high-risk homes than high-risk homes, so we do not show those shares. Largest hazards across the state: Hurricane (43 counties), Inland flooding (23 counties), Strong wind (1 counties).
