Bossier City, LA

Earthquake hazard, typical weather and growing season from public federal data. Population 66,333.

Flood zone: it depends on the exact parcel

There is no such thing as a flood zone for a whole city. Two houses on the same street can sit in different zones, and it is the single fact here that changes most over a short distance. So this page does not guess one.

Earthquake hazard low

Design category B

Low seismic hazard. Earthquakes are infrequent and usually minor here, but the building code still applies light seismic detailing to new construction. The ASCE 7 Seismic Design Category here is B. (Short-period design value Ss ≈ 0.109 g — the standard headline measure of ground-shaking hazard.)

USGS Seismic Design Web Services (ASCE 7), assuming Site Class D — stiff or unknown soil. Real soil conditions can move the category either way.

This station records temperature and precipitation but not snowfall, so no snow column is shown. That is missing data, not a report of zero snow — Bossier City may well get plenty.
