Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective September 30, 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.

Wildfire

The area around 2240 E 20th St has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.
