No, it is listed but not participating. Boswell appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Boswell, town of, community 180561, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Boswell.
Is zoning published for Boswell?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
