SEPA recently completed an update to their National Flood Risk Assessment. This was summarised in their December 2025 National Flood Risk Assessment 2025 report.

These are broken down by local authority and residential/non residential properties in Table B, rather than split by property type. Local authority distribution of flood risk in the appendix of the report. A subset of relevant data from that table is replicated below.
