WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF BEING FLOODED?  The term “100-year flood” has caused much confusion of people not familiar with statistics. Another way to look at flood risk is to think of the odds that a 100-year flood will happen sometime during the life of a 30-year mortgage-a 26% chance for a structure located in the SHA. Chance of Flooding over a Period of Years        Time Period Flood Size 10-year 25-year 50-year 100-year   1 year   10%   4%   2%   1% 10 years 65% 34% 18% 10% 20 years 88% 56% 33% 18% 30 years 96% 71% 45% 26% 50 years 99% 87% 64% 39% Even these numbers do not convey the true flood risk because they focus on the larger, less frequent, floods. If a house is low enough, it may be subject to the 10 or 25-year flood. Suring a 30-year mortgage, it may have a 26% chance of being hit by the 100-year flood, but the odd are 96% (nearly guaranteed) that it will be hit by a 10-year flood. Compare those odds to the only 1-2% chance that the house will catch fire during the same 30-year mortgage.
