Quincy's own 1993 Great Flood reached 31.3 feet -- part of a real, documented string of historic flood years (1903 through 2008) -- exactly the river-town flood risk illinois.js names Quincy for specifically.
Flood insurance is a separate, additional cost
Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover flood damage -- river-adjacent Quincy property owners should budget separately for National Flood Insurance Program or private flood coverage.
Illinois's statewide tornado risk applies too
Quincy also shares Illinois's real, current, escalating 2026 tornado risk -- see illinois.js -- and the same statewide $2,402-$3,108/year homeowners premium range, with no Quincy-specific figure found this pass.
