Four tools built for legislative work

Each tool is independent, inputs are minimal, and every output is copy- and print-ready — formatted for a member or staff to act on, not a researcher to analyze.

Regional Briefing Summary

Select a state, county, or community and generate a one-page briefing in seconds: policies in force, total coverage, average premium burden, current claims activity, and comparison to state and national averages.

Premium Sensitivity Analysis

Model a proposed NFIP policy change — a rate increase or decrease by flood zone — and calculate the estimated constituent impact: number of policyholders affected, average household cost change, and total state burden shift.

Open tool →
State by State Premium Analysis

For a selected state, compare current annual premiums to average annual losses paid (2014–2023) and model the premium adjustment required to reach a target loss ratio. Includes year-by-year loss history.

Open tool →
State Comparison of Premiums vs. Losses

Compare current annual premiums to average annual losses paid (2014–2023) across all states. Identify which states are collecting more or less than their recent loss experience would suggest, and compare any two states side by side.
