Is Media in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Media appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Media, borough of, community 420421, 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.
Are the county figures on this page Media figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Delaware County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Media.
Is zoning published for Media?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
