Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0
South Carolina faces flood hazard from coastal storm surge, tropical rainfall, and inland riverine flooding. The October 2015 flood event demonstrated the state's vulnerability to extreme precipitation unrelated to tropical cyclones. Low-lying Lowcountry geography amplifies both tidal and rainfall-driven flooding.
CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for flood hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.
These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
