I do not have links for you, but the last time I checked there was a general consensus among the majority of scientists that given the low percentage of molten lava in the upper chamber and low percentage of molten magma in the lower chamber we would have at least 10K years of low probability of a VEI 8 eruption. An eruption currently may damage part of the park from low basaltic flows and part of the park would be shut down. Should that happen it may impact the park's tourist revenue but the governor is working on diversifying the states income. The risk level of eruption was a decision making factor in my moving so close to Yellowstone.

Thanks, it does look a great part of the world to live in. I’ve taken liquefaction maps into account previously when finding places to live, but not had to look up magma chamber reports yet.

  My only concern is flood plains. I had 8' of water in my basement at the first house I lived in. Technically not in a flood plain but close enough to a river. Never again.

    8 '! How high were your basement ceilings - was there any breathing room at all?

    Yeah: common risks across a neighbourhood will usually lead to severe problems trying to claim your cover. And subsequent property resale issues: if insurance is unavailable, a mortgage is unavailable; if a home can't get a mortgage then you can only sell for cash at extreme discounts. Avoid risky areas unless you can afford to lose your home. Lots of people in Australia got caught out during floods, in part due to unobvious exclusions. https://mdlaw.com.au/news-insights/flood-insurance-australia/ https://mdlaw.com.au/news-insights/flood-insurance-australia... In my city Christchurch, an earthquake led to problems for many many people.

>Should that happen it may impact the park's tourist revenue but the governor is working on diversifying the states income. Oh no! Wyoming might lose 0.007% of their GDP. I hope the governor can save them in time!
