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 602 S 3rd Ave 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.
