This project explores FEMA flood claims data taken from https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/180374.
We can see that spikes in FEMA flood claims correlate with major flood events in Houston.
Because FEMA provides annonymized data we can view claims by:
- Zip code
- Latitude and longitude (rounded to one decimal)
- Census Tract
Census tract is the most discrete level of detail available. We can plot claim counts by census tract for various storm events, to see which areas were hardest-hit.
