What we check
Four official layers, one clean report
Each layer comes straight from a public dataset — normalized onto a single, non-alarmist scale and attributed to its source.
Flood & insurance

FEMA NFHL
Natural hazards
Multi-hazard exposure — flood, wildfire, heat and more — graded by census tract on a calm, comparable scale.
FEMA National Risk Index
Environmental
Nearby EPA-regulated facilities and contaminated sites, with violations, inspections, and enforcement history.
EPA ECHO
Area & parcel
County, state, and census-tract context for the address, with parcel enrichment where available.
US Census
