CoreLogic Identifies Residential Real Estate Risk Associated With Potential Oroville Dam Failure

-More than 50,000 homes totaling more than $13 billion in reconstruction cost at risk-

Feb 15, 2017 -- According to new data analysis from CoreLogic®, within the six primary counties at risk if the Oroville Dam were to fail completely, 50,047 single- and multi-family residential homes* could be damaged with an estimated reconstruction cost value (RCV) of $13.3 billion. Figure 1 shows the number of homes along with the RCV in Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties in California. The RCV reflects the cost to rebuild a property assuming 100-percent destruction. Of the at-risk homes, only 12 percent are in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Homes with a mortgage identified as in an SFHA are required to carry flood insurance, but many homeowners do not carry flood insurance if they are not required to do so. Figure 2 shows the number of homes along with the RCV for the most at-risk cities** that could be affected by the dam’s failure.
