Flood

FEMA maps place 70 Independence Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 4 flood claims nearby since 1984.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective April 5, 2023 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Nearby Flood Claims	4 (1984–2012)

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 70 Independence 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.
