Madison County, GA: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure

The trigger here is the premium, not the payment: uninsurable or unaffordable coverage moves owners to list ahead of any default.
What lifts Madison County's reading is a FEMA hazard score of 91/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; 1 hurricane federal disaster declaration in three years; these are exactly the risks that widen premiums and thin the carrier pool.

The county's three-year flood-loss ledger — 0 claims, $0 paid (~$0/claim) — is the evidence carriers use to justify higher rates or withdrawal.
