Shaded X Flood Zone

Flood Zone X shaded indicates an area where the annual flood risk is between one percent and 02 percent. When Zone X is unshaded the risk for flood is less than 02 percent and is protected from 100-year flood by a levee. Moderate- to low-risk areas are shown on flood maps as zones beginning with the letters B C or X or a shaded X. On the Flood Insurance Rate Map Zone X shaded refers to an area with moderate flooding risk while Zone X unshaded refers to an area with minimal flooding risk.
