All key elements of the researcher’s summary are supported by the provided public-agency source. The Los Angeles County public works page explains that Risk Rating 2.0 uses modern catastrophe modeling, updated data, and property-specific factors to produce actuarially sound, equitable rates. It lists specific variables (multiple flood perils, proximity to water, building attributes, and cost to reconstruct). It contrasts this with the prior NFIP approach based on national averages and static, zone/elevation-centric measurements, noting the inequity for lower- versus higher-valued homes and that RR2.0 accounts for rebuilding cost to address this.
