4 NFIP claims, $250,165 paid in three years is the documented loss history behind coverage cost in Indian River County.
Carriers here underwrite around hurricane above all else, since it dominates the county three-year declaration record.
The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 94/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 82/100 over three years; 2 hurricane federal disaster declarations in three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.
Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 3/100 that input is running hot in Indian River County.
Put the 94/100 hazard reading next to 82/100 in flood-claim stress and the pattern is a county where owners exit over premiums.
