What this page counts as Sanders Park
We could not find an openly licensed official boundary for Sanders Park, so this page uses a census-based area. For this page, Sanders Park means the 2010 Census block groups whose center lies within 1.6 km (1.0 miles) of the U.S. Geological Survey (GNIS) map point for Sanders Park (feature 290595) and inside the Pompano Beach city limits (U.S. Census Bureau), each block group going to the nearest of the places we cover.

What the zones mean
- Zone AE (and A, AH, AO)
- High-risk: part of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area FEMA maps as having a 1-percent chance of flooding in any given year (the “100-year” or base flood). AE areas have a mapped base flood elevation.
- Zone VE (and V)
- High-risk coastal areas, also in the SFHA, where the base flood is expected to bring additional hazards from storm waves.
- Zone X (shaded)
- Moderate hazard: between the limits of the 1-percent and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (“500-year”) flood.
- Zone X (unshaded)
- Minimal hazard: outside the SFHA and higher than the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood elevation. Minimal is not zero: flood claims are filed from X zones too.

How much is flood insurance in Sanders Park?
The typical National Flood Insurance Program policy on single-family homes in Sanders Park costs $688 a year: the median of 52 policies that started between August 1, 2025 and July 31, 2026. Half of them cost between $634 and $868. That is the full amount paid for the year, the premium plus FEMA’s fees and surcharges, and every one of these policies is priced under Risk Rating 2.0. A quote for one building can be far from this: its elevation, foundation, age, coverage and deductible all change the price. Private flood insurance is not included.

How these numbers were made
Area: the census-based definition above, using U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb, 2010 Census Block Groups and U.S. Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) domestic names. Flood zone shares: the area polygon intersected with FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL), Flood Hazard Zones and FIRM Panels, area computed in an equal-area projection; retrieved October 30, 2026. Claims: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3 records for Broward County (county code 12011), dataset as of September 8, 2026, retrieved October 30, 2026. Claims are counted for exactly the block groups that make up the area. Block groups used: 120110304021, 120110304011. Neighboring pages can share a block group, so their counts can overlap. Paid totals add building, contents and Increased Cost of Compliance payments and are not adjusted for inflation; a claim whose FEMA record shows a negative payment (an adjustment) counts as zero.
