# Mayagüez, PR

Puerto Rico · pop. 73,073 · FIPS 72097

**FEMA risk rating: Insufficient Data** · dominant hazard: — · modeled expected annual loss $89M/yr

These risk dimensions are FEMA/CDC MODELS (a rating, not records of disasters); population is a recorded census figure.

## Where Mayagüez ranks among 3,232 U.S. counties

Each rank is COMPUTED — the county's modeled score placed within the national distribution. A rank within a model, not within observed disasters.

| Dimension | This county | National rank |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Expected annual loss | $89M | ≈ 28th pct — lower than most counties (28th percentile) (national median $15M, n=3,232) |

## What this is — and is NOT (interpretation)

This is FEMA/CDC **modeled** hazard exposure for Mayagüez, PR and its national rank. It is **not** a verdict on whether Mayagüez is a good or bad place to live (hazard exposure is not place quality), **not** a per-property or per-address assessment, **not** a prediction of any specific disaster, and **not** insurance advice. For site-specific risk use a per-property assessment; for the model see https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/.
