Why building details matter
A street-address score can account for the unique characteristics of a specific building, including age, construction type, roof shape and condition, occupancy, elevation, defensible space, drainage, terrain, and nearby exposure. Those details can change resilience or susceptibility around the same location-level score.
Use this city page when you want a recognizable local reference point for comparing nearby ZIPs and counties. Since the percentile is elevated, it is worth comparing nearby pages before relying on the area score alone.
