Lowest Expected Disaster Loss per Household in Nebraska

The counties where FEMA's expected annual loss per household is smallest. Low exposure is one of the few housing-cost advantages that never shows up in the listing price. It shows up in what an insurer actually charges, which is not the same as the insurance figure in these tables, since that is a statewide average and cannot vary by county. Expected annual loss is FEMA's National Risk Index figure for the county, divided by the number of occupied housing units the Census reports there.

Where does yours land? Every county in America is somewhere on this scale, including the one you live in.

Every figure is modelled on the county's own median home with 20% down at 7.03%. Property tax and electricity are county and state specific; homeowners insurance uses the NAIC average premium for that state, which ranges from 0.16% of home value in Hawaii to 1.16% in Oklahoma. Maintenance and water are national estimates. Full methodology.
