Hazard 51/100 plus flood-claim stress 84/100 is the pairing that separates insurance-motivated sellers from ordinary distress in Switzerland County.
Because coverage pressure seldom acts alone, Switzerland County's 64/100 is cross-checked against foreclosure filings, liens and ownership churn to isolate the truly insurance-driven sellers.
Behind the score sit a FEMA hazard score of 51/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 84/100 over three years; 1 flood federal disaster declaration in three years, each a factor insurers weigh when they raise rates or exit a market.
DLRadar re-scores Switzerland County every month against the latest FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, so 64/100 tracks the live market — not a snapshot frozen at some earlier point.
Over the trailing three years, Switzerland County recorded 12 NFIP flood claims totaling $372,827 paid (about $31,069 per claim) — the loss history that pushes premiums up and coverage out.
In practice, Switzerland County's elevated insurance-distress level (64/100, #755 nationally) marks it as a place to watch owner behavior: as renewals land, households that can no longer carry the premium become the motivated sellers worth reaching early.
The county risk profile leans heavily on flood, the hazard behind most of its recent federal declarations.
Construction distress sits at 47/100, so the replacement cost insurers underwrite against is elevated here.
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 point is reaching those owners while carrying cost is still the problem, not after the filing.
