About these ratingsFEMA's index and what it measures

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.

About these numbersSources, county file September 2025

Tax value

Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, September 2025.

Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.

Estimate

Rough estimate: based on typical prices per acre for land this size in Shelby and nearby counties. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Half of past estimates were within ±55% (measured across nearby counties); the range covers about 8 in 10. Land only; any building is not included.
