Scott County, IL: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure

DLRadar grades Scott County, Illinois at 0/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2618 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. Coverage that keeps repricing upward quietly manufactures motivated sellers well before a foreclosure notice.

Scott County's 0/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.

A #2618 national standing means little alone; DLRadar pairs Scott County's coverage stress with default and ownership data before calling a parcel distressed.

Because Scott County is rebuilt monthly from fresh federal and carrier inputs, the score you see is current to the latest renewal cycle, and its #2618 national rank moves as conditions do.

Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 0/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.

Flood losses tell the story: 0 NFIP claims and $0 paid out over three years, averaging $0 apiece -- exactly the history that hardens rates.

The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.

Put the 0/100 hazard reading next to 0/100 in flood-claim stress and the pattern is a county where owners exit over premiums.

The same monthly model runs nationwide — FEMA, NFIP and carrier pressure — and ties Scott County's score to on-the-ground foreclosure and ownership data. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
