HAZARD SNAPSHOT County Durham 0.64 % of all properties in high or medium hazard
Modelled flood hazard around properties is a contextual exposure proxy. It is not motor flood claims, and this single snapshot cannot demonstrate annual persistence.
How this contextual measure is calculated Published high-hazard percentage plus medium-hazard percentage, using the NRD 2023 all-property base. High and medium counts are distinct hazard bands; the single edition is not an annual outcome series.
Properties in high hazard 1,309
Properties in medium hazard 697
Source model period June 2026 Environment Agency · NRD 2023 property base. High: ≥3.3% annual flood chance; medium: 1–3.3%.
