Flood

FEMA maps place 1852 Illinois St in Zone X, where a levee reduces flood risk, though there have been 10 flood claims nearby since 1983.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective September 27, 2026 · 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.
