DLRadar grades Crawford County, Iowa at 0/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2646 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. Rising carrying cost from insurance — not the mortgage — is increasingly what pushes these owners to sell.

Crawford County re-scores on every fresh federal and carrier filing, so the number reflects today's coverage environment, not a frozen snapshot.
