The Town Around It
Whatever the address, these are Lenox's numbers. Each one opens the full record.
Flood, Town-wide
Flood Map Unavailable
The federal flood map for this town has not been digitised, so flood risk here is unmapped; that is not the same as absent. Ask the town's building department before relying on any flood answer.
5 federal flood-insurance claims have been filed from this town since 2014 (most recent: 2021). Counted by the claim's self-reported city, so this can undercount. History, not a prediction.
