NFIP Statistics

•Floods are the #1 natural disaster in the United States.

•From 2008 to 2012, the average flood claim amounted to nearly $42,000.

•From 2003 to 2012, total flood insurance claims averaged nearly $4 billion per year.

• Even though flood insurance isn't federally required, anyone can be financially vulnerable to floods. In fact, people outside of mapped high-risk flood areas file nearly 25% of all National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance claims and receive one-third of Federal Disaster Assistance for flooding.

•The NFIP paid more than $7.7 billion in flood insurance claims to all policyholders in 2012.

2012 Claims Paid - New Jersey - $3,256,146,065
