Are NFIP rates actuarially sound?

I see that they are risk-based, but does this mean that they are actuarially sound? I don't see how they could be affordable if they are actuarially sound.

  • I think I found the answer and it is no - they are not actuarially sound (NFIP typically has to subsidize rebuilding after a flood as rates are generally deficient).

  • Correct. I think you mean NFIP subsidized the rates.
