Flood

FEMA maps place 261 N Drexel Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 4 flood claims nearby since 1979.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective June 4, 2026 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

FEMA Flood Zone	Zone X minimal risk
Flood Insurance Requirement	Not required lenders may require it
Nearby Flood Policies	1 in force
Nearby Flood Claims	4 (1979–2003)
Claims Outside the SFHA	3 of 4
Most Recent Claim	Aug 2003 · rainfall accumulation
Claims by Event	Severe Storms, Tornadoes & Flooding, Jul 1992 · 2 claims

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 261 N Drexel Ave has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Source: USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (2nd edition), as of 2024

Wildfire Risk	Not rated no burnable land within ember reach

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

Drinking Water

Source: EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System, as of September 2026

Water System	BEXLEY CITY PWS serves 14,250 people · EPA ID OH2500103
