Natural Hazard Profile: ZIP 32164, Florida

Located near the Atlantic Coast of the southeastern United States, ZIP 32164 serves the Palm Coast community. The tropical climate of this part of Florida β€” bringing warm temperatures year-round and high humidity β€” directly shapes the hazard exposure for properties in this postal area.

ZIP 32164's overall natural disaster risk is rated 5.3/10 (Moderate) by FEMA's National Risk Index.

Relative to other U.S. communities, ZIP 32164's natural disaster risk is above the U.S. national average of 4.5/10, slightly below the 5.7/10 state average.
