Recorded flood claims in San Martin

Area statistics for buildings with NFIP flood insurance, not any one parcel: a lot that never had an insured building has no claims to count. Claims counted from 1978 to Sep 2026.

What flood insurance costs in San Martin

Middle half: the middle half of premiums on single-family NFIP policies that took effect Sep 2025–Sep 2026, by the flood zone each policy is rated in. It is what insured homes here pay, not a quote for any one building.

Full-risk median: the median of FEMA's own full-risk premium for the same policies (Risk Rating 2.0). A discounted policy rises toward it a step each year, within the law's cap on yearly increases.

Counted in the 3 census block groups that lie mostly inside San Martin, so the edges may reach past the town line.
