Assessed value
- How Illinois assessesIllinois assesses property at one third of its fair cash value (35 ILCS 200/9-145); Cook County classifies, assessing homes at 10% and commercial property at 25%. Farmland is valued on its soil productivity (35 ILCS 200/10-110 to 10-125). An assessed value is not what the property would sell for.35 ILCS 200 (Property Tax Code)

Hazards
Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
Recorded flood claims
Insured buildings near this parcel, not the parcel itself. FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land that never had an insured building has no claims to count. The count is the parcel's census block group when it has 10 or more, else its tract's; a count under 10 prints as "Fewer than 10". Source: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3.
Neighborhood (Census)
± is the Census 90% margin of error; a figure comes from the larger census tract when the block group's sample is too small.
Estimate
Rough estimate. Not tested to our price-range standard. Half of past estimates were within ±20% (measured across Illinois); the range covers about 8 in 10. Land only; any building is not included.
Parcel outline
The outline and its edge lengths are measured on the parcel map the map draws; the aerial loads from the public imagery named under it.
