Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 74/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.
Hazard 0/100 plus flood-claim stress 16/100 is the pairing that separates insurance-motivated sellers from ordinary distress in Putnam County.
Putnam County re-scores on every fresh federal and carrier filing, so the number reflects today's coverage environment, not a frozen snapshot.
Insurance distress rarely travels by itself, so DLRadar aligns Putnam County's 5/100 with foreclosure, lien and ownership records — separating owners squeezed only by coverage from those under broader strain.
Driving it: a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 16/100 over three years, all of which push carriers toward higher rates or non-renewal.
What 5/100 means on the ground in Putnam County is simple — coverage cost is becoming a decision point for owners here, and DLRadar's job is to flag the parcels where that decision tips toward selling.
Every U.S. county gets this monthly insurance-distress read from FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, wired to parcel-level foreclosure, lien and ownership records. The payoff is early contact with insurance-pressured sellers, not late.
