Flood

FEMA maps place 1509 Brown Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 58 flood claims nearby since 1979.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective October 16, 2024 · 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
