Does it flood? Los Angeles neighborhoods
Neighborhood-by-neighborhood flood facts for Los Angeles: how much of each area FEMA maps in high-risk flood zones, and how many National Flood Insurance Program claims are on record in Los Angeles County’s FEMA data. Neighborhood boundaries come from Los Angeles Times Neighborhood Boundaries, published by the City of Los Angeles (DataLA), licensed CC BY 4.0. Sorted by claims on record. New neighborhoods are added regularly.
| Neighborhood | Area in FEMA high-risk zones | NFIP claims on record | Paid (nominal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venice | 20% | 46 | $268,438 |
| Silver Lake | 6.2% | 28 | $207,775 |
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.
