The 42/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Searcy County it is layered with foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership data so a rising premium and a looming default can be read on the same parcel.
The declaration history is led by flood events — the peril most likely to drive non-renewals locally.
The Searcy County reading is not static - monthly FEMA, NFIP and carrier updates re-score it so it tracks the current renewal season rather than an average.
With construction distress at 36/100, the cost to rebuild is elevated, which feeds directly into what carriers charge.
Read together, a 83/100 hazard base and 0/100 flood-claim stress explain why Searcy County screens as a place where coverage cost, not the loan, is the likely sale trigger.
Searcy County's 42/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.
The reading rests on a FEMA hazard score of 83/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; 2 flood federal disaster declarations in three years - the specific exposures that widen premiums and shrink the carrier pool in Searcy County.
Every county gets the same monthly FEMA/NFIP/carrier scoring, linked through to parcel-level distress and ownership data. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
