How this ranking works
Rankings use HomeRiskIQ weather risk data across514/514 eligible cities evaluated.
Scores are normalized to a 0-100 scale. The state benchmark is a p85-based state reference, not an arithmetic average.
City entries link to hazard-specific pages where available, otherwise to the city overview.
