19.1 acres of farm and timber land near Morristown, Hamblen County

Rates: Tennessee Comptroller, tax year 2025 (the 2026 rates are not loaded yet). The county trustee's bill is the official figure.

This tracks home values, not land values. Land buyers read it as a sign of demand nearby: where homes gain value, builders and buyers follow. A vacant lot can move differently.

How: the change in FHFA's annual county index from 2020 and 2024 to 2025, rounded. The index follows repeat sales and refinance appraisals of the same single-family homes with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages. It is in today's dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and FHFA calls these local indexes developmental. Where FHFA's sample is too small it publishes no figure, and none prints here.

Each federal declaration whose designated areas include the county, declared from January 2000 on, counted once by its FEMA disaster number. An emergency declaration and a major-disaster declaration for the same storm are two declarations, as FEMA numbers them. Declarations for tribal lands alone are not counted. The date shown is when the most recent incident began. Types are FEMA's incident types: an evacuation emergency for a storm elsewhere (Hurricane Katrina, 2005) is listed as that, not as a storm that struck the county. By kind: 5 major disasters and 5 emergencies.

Source: USDA NASS Cropland Data Layer, 2021–2025 (USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service; 30 m satellite classification; public domain).

How: we count the 30 m cells whose centres fall inside the parcel outline, class by class and year by year, and scale the counts to the outline's acres.

Cropland means CDL cultivated land: cells in a cultivated class in at least 2 of the 5 years, or in the latest year, the rule NASS uses for its Cultivated Layer. Fallow and idle cropland counts; hay other than alfalfa, pasture, grass and forest do not. Where a listing would say tillable acres, this figure means CDL cultivated land only: it is not a survey, a farm's reported acres or USDA FSA field (CLU) records, which are not public.

Limits: NASS puts the accuracy of the major crops at about 85 to 95%. Field edges, roads, farmsteads and small patches are often misclassed, so any parcel's figures can be off by a few acres. The rotation names the largest crop each year; a year counts as cropped with crops on at least 10% of the parcel or on 5 acres or more, and no rotation is named when cropland is under 10% of the parcel. Acres are shares of the parcel's acres on this page; where the parcel outline and those acres differ by more than 20%, this read is not shown.

Source: USDA NRCS soil survey (SSURGO), survey area TN063, version Aug 2026, read through NRCS Soil Data Access.

The parcel's main soil map unit covers about 52% of its outline: Dandridge shaly silty clay loam, hilly, 12 to 25 percent slope. Its main component is Dandridge (100% of the unit).

The ratings are NRCS's own map-unit interpretations (dominant condition): ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields, ENG - Dwellings W/O Basements and ENG - Dwellings With Basements. The limits listed are the features NRCS names for the main component. Shrink-swell is that component's linear extensibility, depth-weighted from 25 to 100 cm, the layer NRCS's homesite rule reads; NRCS classes: low under 3%, moderate 3 to 6%, high 6 to 9%, very high 9% or more.

A screening, not a perc test or a soil boring: soils vary inside a map unit (survey scale about 1:12,000 to 1:24,000), and fill or grading may have changed the lot.

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.

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.

Counted from USGS Annual NLCD land cover (USGS Annual NLCD Collection 1.2, 30 m maps made from Landsat imagery, 2015, 2020 and 2025; public domain, DOI 10.5066/P94UXNTS). A 30 m square counts when it was forest, shrub, grassland, pasture, cropland or wetland in the start year and developed in 2025: NLCD's developed classes, from lawns, parks and roads to dense buildings. The squares are summed over the land within about a mile of this parcel's center on a 240 m grid, so the figures are rounded. "Most of the county" compares the same one-mile figure across the county's land. A satellite land-cover map misses some changes and mislabels a few, so read it as a guide to how fast the area is building out, not a survey. As of 2025 land cover.

± is the Census 90% margin of error; a figure comes from the larger census tract when the block group's sample is too small.
