Flood

FEMA maps place 516 W Elm St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 2 flood claims nearby since 1983.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective October 16, 2024 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

FEMA Flood Zone	Zone X minimal risk

Nearby Flood Policies	1 in force
Nearby Flood Claims	2 (1983–2008)
Claims Outside the SFHA	1 of 2
Most Recent Claim	Sep 2008 · Severe Storms And Flooding

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 516 W Elm St 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

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