If your site serves a metro Detroit community, you are welcome to add a free Basement Risk Index badge showing that community's score, or to cite the dataset directly. It is genuinely useful local information for homeowners, and it is free to use, no permission needed.

Community

Copy this HTML (works anywhere, no script needed)

Or, an auto-updating version (one line)

The script version always shows the current score. The HTML version is static (best for search engines) and updates only when you re-paste it.

Cite the dataset

Writing about flooding, housing, or a specific community? You are welcome to reference the Basement Risk Index. We are happy to provide the full ranking, the methodology, or a neighborhood-level breakdown for any community you cover, just email hello@basementriskcheck.com.

Cite as: Basement Risk Check, “Metro Detroit Basement Risk Index,” 2026. basementriskcheck.com/methodology

See how the scores are built on our methodology page. Detroit's score uses documented City of Detroit 311 reports plus Census housing data; suburban scores are modeled from Census housing data and labeled as such.
