Mapping Flood Insurance Participation

Using OpenFEMA data to map block group-level flood insurance participation in Coastal MS.

This independent project uses publicly available National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) data to map residential flood insurance participation across coastal Mississippi at the census block group level.

By integrating NFIP policy records with U.S. Census housing data, the analysis examines the geographic distribution of flood insurance coverage and identifies communities with relatively low levels of participation. The project also demonstrates a reproducible workflow for accessing, processing, and visualizing federal flood insurance data.
