Expected yearly loss, in dollars
| Hazard | This county, total a year | Per $1M of buildings | State median county | U.S. median county | Rank per $1M, U.S. | Rank per $1M, state |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | $2,615,475 | $117 | $85 | $22 | 416 of 3,126 | 97 of 254 |

Rank 1 is the highest. Overall, hail and wind losses count buildings; the tornado row counts everything FEMA exposes, so it overstates building damage. Expected annual loss is an average over many years for the whole county, not a forecast for one roof.
What stands out in Tom Green County
- FEMA expects hail in Tom Green County to cost $117 per $1 million of buildings a year: 5.25 times the U.S. median and 1.38 times the TX county median, ranked 416th of 3,126 counties nationally and 97th of 254 in Texas.
- FEMA expects strong wind in Tom Green County to cost $16 per $1 million of buildings a year: 0.78 times the U.S. median and 0.60 times the TX county median, ranked 1,802nd of 3,121 counties nationally and 173rd of 254 in Texas.

- Applying FEMA's estimate to a $186,700 home, the average yearly loss in Tom Green County is about $22 for hail and $2.97 for wind before any deductible; at the U.S. median county rates it would be $4.17 and $3.80.
- If the next years look like 2014 to 2025, a roof kept 20 years in Tom Green County meets about 83.3 hail days of 1 inch or more; the median county in NOAA's file (1,275 counties) would give 35.0.
- Built in 1979, the median home in Tom Green County is 47 years old, so an original roof has outlived a 3-tab shingle (15 to 20 years) and an architectural one (25 to 30 years); 80.4% of its 51,949 homes are at least 26 years old.
- March to June holds 209 of the 218 hail reports in Tom Green County (96 percent); the quietest month is January, with 0 reports.
What hail and wind cost a home here in an average year
Enter a home value. The calculator applies Tom Green County’s own loss rate: the county’s expected yearly loss divided by the value of its buildings. It starts at the Census median home value for the county.
Formula: home value × Tom Green County yearly loss ÷ building value. Hail: $2,615,475 ÷ $22,279,114,780 = 0.0001174. Wind: $354,678 ÷ $22,279,114,780 = 0.0000159. This is FEMA’s estimate of average damage to buildings and does not account for your deductible. Tornado is left out because FEMA’s tornado loss counts people and other exposure, not only buildings.
Read this as a yardstick. The rate is an average over every building in the county, from sheds to office towers, and over many years. Real losses come in rare, large storms; a roof with no damage in 19 years can need full replacement in the 20th. The figure is not a quote and not a prediction for one address.

How old the roofs are
Census counts homes by the decade they were built. Under each bar is the number of hail days of 1 inch or more that an original roof from that decade has met, at Tom Green County’s 2014 to 2025 pace of 4.17 such days a year. Most roofs have been replaced since; the row shows what a roof that never was would have taken.
Bars: share of 51,949 housing units by decade built. Figures under the decade: hail days met by an original roof, at the county’s 2014 to 2025 pace. The pace of earlier years is unknown.

How high is storm risk in Tom Green County?
FEMA's National Risk Index gives Tom Green County an overall score of 77.32 (Relatively Low), 714th of 3,144. Hail scores 96.18 (Relatively High), strong wind 49.59 (Relatively Low) and tornado 73.73 (Relatively Moderate).
In Tom Green County, how many hail reports has NOAA logged?
A report is one entry for one storm in one county, so counts follow where people live as well as where hail fell. NOAA has 218 for Tom Green County between 2014 and June 2026, on 52 days with hail of 1 inch or more; the largest stone was 4 inches.
What do hail and wind cost a home in Tom Green County each year, on average?
Applying FEMA's county rates to its median home value of $186,700: FEMA's estimate is about $22 a year for hail and $2.97 for wind, before any deductible, against $4.17 and $3.80 at the U.S. median county rates. This is an average over many years and all buildings, not a prediction for one roof; one bad storm costs far more than the average year.
How does Tom Green County compare with the rest of Texas?
Per $1 million of buildings Tom Green County loses $117 to hail a year, against $85 in the median county of the state. Among 254 rated counties it is 29th for hail, 122nd for strong wind and 89th for tornado.
How old are the roofs in Tom Green County?
The median home was built in 1979, 47 years ago, and 80.4% of the 51,949 housing units in Tom Green County date from before 2000. Asphalt shingles are rated 15 to 20 years (3-tab) or 25 to 30 years (architectural), so an original roof of either kind is past its rated life. The Census does not record when a roof was replaced.
What does expected annual loss mean?
It is FEMA's estimate of the average yearly loss from a hazard, in dollars, summed over the county. It is built for comparing counties at planning level, not for pricing one house.
Does a high rating mean my roof will be damaged?
No. The index compares counties and cannot say what will happen on your street. After a storm, a roof inspection is the only way to know.
