This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Ward through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 52 with a margin of error of plus or minus 34, which is 65.4 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Is Ward in the National Flood Insurance Program?
No, it is listed but not participating. Ward appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Ward, town of, community 460083, 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 Ward figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Moody 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 Ward.
Is zoning published for Ward?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
