Does it flood? Lake Charles neighborhoods
Neighborhood-by-neighborhood flood facts for Lake Charles: how much of each area FEMA maps in high-risk flood zones, and how many National Flood Insurance Program claims are on record in Calcasieu Parish’s FEMA data. Where no openly licensed official neighborhood boundary exists, an area is built from whole 2010 Census block groups, and each page states exactly how. Sorted by claims on record. New neighborhoods are added regularly.
| Neighborhood | Area in FEMA high-risk zones | NFIP claims on record | Paid (nominal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greinwich Village | 5.5% | 871 | $25,327,833 |
| University Place | 19% | 492 | $18,628,795 |
| Goosport | 21% | 59 | $820,995 |
Claim counts depend on how many insured buildings a neighborhood has, so a dense area can show more claims than a sparser one. Past claims do not predict future flooding. Check the exact address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
