This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Keystone through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 39 with a margin of error of plus or minus 32, which is 82.1 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 Keystone in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Keystone appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Keystone, town of, community 540119, 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.

No, and they are labeled so.

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