FEMA maps place 1212 Ave E in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 8 flood claims nearby since 2008.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective July 21, 2020 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Values are read at the parcel center point; flood claims are located to the census block group, not this parcel; lenders make the official flood determination.

Wildfire

The area around 1212 Ave E has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Values cover an area roughly 900 ft across, not the parcel itself; insurers use their own ratings.
