Clarke County, Iowa carries a low home-insurance-distress reading of 0/100 — ranked #2645 nationally, in the lower-risk band nationally. The trigger here is the premium, not the payment: uninsurable or unaffordable coverage moves owners to list ahead of any default.
DLRadar does not treat 0/100 as a standalone number — the Clarke County insurance read is cross-referenced against local foreclosure filings, tax-lien activity and ownership turnover, so you see whether insurance pressure is compounding other distress or acting alone.
