Flood

FEMA maps place 500 E Polk St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 9 flood claims nearby since 1979.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective July 20, 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 Claims	9 (1979–1985)
Most Recent Claim	Mar 1985 · Severe Storms & Flooding
Claims by Event	Severe Storms & Flooding, Mar 1985 · 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 500 E Polk St has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

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