Palmetto, FL homes and water
Palmetto sits on the Manatee River, and its housing is older than Manatee County's. Census figures show 50% of its homes were built before 1980, against 34% countywide. Another 30% are mobile or manufactured homes, against 14% for the county. Under a manufactured home, a leaking supply line soaks the underbelly insulation and the subfloor before anything shows inside.
Seasonal homes make up 21% of the housing, so a leak can run for weeks before anyone returns. Renters hold 32% of homes and should report water to the owner in writing, with photos.
Storms are the larger threat. FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly hurricane loss at $183 per $100,000 of building value. Its coastal flood loss figure is 17, against 5 for Florida. FEMA flood insurance records show 24.9 claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025. Manatee County has had 17 major disaster declarations for floods and storms since 2000.
