Flood insurance

FEMA NFIP single-family policies, 2022–2025

Standard home policies don't cover floods. Only 9 single-family NFIP policies took effect here in 2025, too few for a meaningful average. Flood insurance is available to homeowners in participating communities whether or not they're in a high-risk zone.

Flood insurance data

Too few NFIP policies here to show reliable averages. FEMA's Flood Map Service Center shows the flood zone for any address.

Natural hazards

FEMA National Risk Index, December 2025

Bars show how Kiowa compares with every U.S. county for each hazard (100 = highest). Drought, ice storm and hail rank highest here. A high rank doesn't mean an event is likely in any given year. It shows where preparation and the right coverage matter most.

Practical next steps

Simple things Kiowa homeowners can do with this information.

Prepare for freezing weather. Burst pipes are a common winter claim. Insulating exposed pipes, keeping heat on while away and knowing where your main water shut-off is all help.
Look at your roof. Hail and wind claims often come down to the roof. Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles can earn discounts in some states, and knowing your roof's age helps when you compare policies.
Plan for heat and dry spells. Long dry periods can stress foundations and landscaping. Regular checks of your HVAC system and foundation can catch small problems before they become claims.
Create defensible space. Clearing dry brush and debris within 30 feet of the house and using ember-resistant vents can lower wildfire exposure. Some insurers and states recognize mitigation work with discounts.

Historical averages, not a quote. Homeowners figures are inflation-adjusted averages from the U.S. Treasury Federal Insurance Office "Supporting Underlying Metrics" (2018–2022, published January 2025). They cover HO-3/HO-5 policies from participating private insurers and exclude state residual-market plans (such as FAIR plans and Citizens), surplus-lines and flood coverage. Treasury notes that individual ZIP codes can contain data anomalies. Your price depends on your home, coverage and insurer.
