    • Sandy Damage Estimates by Block Group

    Metadata Updated: March 11, 2026

    This dataset denotes Sandy Damage Estimates Based on FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) Registrant Inspection Data. A FEMA housing inspection for renters is used to assess personal property loss and for owners to assess damage to their home as well as personal property. This inspection is done to determine eligibility for FEMA Individual Assistance. For both rental and owner inspections, if the property has flood damage the inspector measures the height of the flooding. They indicate the highest floor of the flooding (for example, Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc…) and the extent of the flooding in that room. In addition, for the units without flooding, HUD has estimated minor/major/severe damage based on the damage inspection estimates for real property (owner) and personal property (renter).
