FEMA maps place 1822 E 23rd St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 3 flood claims nearby since 1993.

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
