Because premiums track rebuild cost, a 41/100 construction-distress reading in Clay County feeds straight through to what owners are quoted.
The reading rests on a FEMA hazard score of 64/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years - the specific exposures that widen premiums and shrink the carrier pool in Clay County.
For a buyer, Clay County at 33/100 is a where-to-look signal: some share of owners are absorbing a coverage bill rising faster than planned, and a portion will sell rather than carry it.
