Texas Hurricane Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

The Texas Gulf Coast, stretching from Brownsville to Beaumont, is exposed to North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclone landfalls. IBTrACS historical track data shows significant hurricane frequency along the upper Texas coast, with Houston-Galveston and Corpus Christi as primary exposure corridors. Storm surge hazard is amplified by the shallow continental shelf bathymetry in the western Gulf.

Notable Historical Events

12017 Hurricane Harvey — unprecedented 60+ inches rainfall, $125B total damage (FEMA DR-4332)
22008 Hurricane Ike — CAT 2 at Galveston, $30B+ total damage (FEMA DR-1791)
32020 Hurricane Laura — CAT 4 at TX/LA border (FEMA DR-4559)

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for hurricane 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.
