Grant County, IN: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Home-insurance pressure in Grant County, Indiana is currently moderate — an insurance-distress score of 26/100, in the lower-risk band nationally at #1738 of the 3,222 U.S. counties DLRadar scores. When coverage gets expensive or impossible to renew, affected owners list early, ahead of any mortgage-default signal.
Read together, a 51/100 hazard base and 0/100 flood-claim stress explain why Grant County screens as a place where coverage cost, not the loan, is the likely sale trigger.
Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 82/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.
Driving it: a FEMA hazard score of 51/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; 1 flood federal disaster declaration in three years, all of which push carriers toward higher rates or non-renewal.
Grant County re-scores on every fresh federal and carrier filing, so the number reflects today's coverage environment, not a frozen snapshot.
DLRadar does not treat 26/100 as a standalone number — the Grant 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.
Most of the federal disaster activity on file is flood, and that is the peril shaping renewal terms locally.
The federal flood record here -- 0 claims at roughly $0 each -- is the loss experience premiums are built on.
Grant County's 26/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.
The nationwide monthly build covers all 3,222 counties and connects Grant County reading to real foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership records. The point is reaching those owners while carrying cost is still the problem, not after the filing.
