Property owners in ZIP 74128 have been paid $1.7M on 155 National Flood Insurance Program claims between 1978 and 2019 — an average of $11K a claim, across 15 separate years in which someone here filed and was paid.

The heaviest year

1984 is the heaviest year on file: 128 paid claims, 82.6% of the ZIP's total. More than half of everything ever paid here traces to that single year.

2 of those claims — 1.3% — were filed since 2017. The bulk of this ZIP's record is older than that.

Where the claims sat on the map

Of the 151 claims here that record a rated flood zone, 21 — 13.9% — were on properties rated outside the mapped high-risk area, in a B, C or X zone. Claims here concentrate inside the mapped high-risk area, which is what the maps intend. Flood insurance is not required outside the high-risk zone, and most properties there do not carry it — so these counts come from the minority who did.

What this does not say

These are paid National Flood Insurance Program claims, nothing more. They count insured properties whose owners filed and were paid, so they are a floor on how often this ZIP has flooded — never a measure of how likely it is to flood next. Uninsured flooding leaves no trace here at all.

The figures are aggregates published by FEMA. No individual claim, address or policyholder appears on this page or in the data behind it. Nothing here is a forecast, a warning, or advice about insurance.
