Kosciusko County, IN: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Home-insurance pressure in Kosciusko County, Indiana is currently elevated — an insurance-distress score of 59/100, in the upper half of U.S. counties at #876 of the 3,222 U.S. counties DLRadar scores. As premiums climb and carriers retreat, owners who can no longer afford or obtain coverage turn into motivated sellers — often before any foreclosure filing appears.
The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 51/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 71/100 over three years; 1 flood federal disaster declaration in three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.
The federal flood record here -- 12 claims at roughly $3,645 each -- is the loss experience premiums are built on.
Kosciusko County re-scores on every fresh federal and carrier filing, so the number reflects today's coverage environment, not a frozen snapshot.
Hazard exposure of 51/100 alongside 71/100 in flood-claim stress is the combination that turns Kosciusko County owners into insurance-motivated sellers.
Underwriters read this county through flood first -- it is the recurring driver in the declaration history.
DLRadar does not treat 59/100 as a standalone number — the Kosciusko 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.
Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 7/100 that input is running hot in Kosciusko County.
Read as a targeting input, 59/100 puts Kosciusko County #876 of 3,222 — high enough that renewal-driven listings should be expected rather than treated as outliers.
DLRadar scores insurance distress monthly for every U.S. county from FEMA, NFIP and carrier-pressure data, then links it to parcel-level foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership signals. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
