Flood losses tell the story: 6 NFIP claims and $83,239 paid out over three years, averaging $13,873 apiece -- exactly the history that hardens rates.
Monthly rebuilds keep Vigo County honest: 25/100 reflects the renewal environment carriers are pricing right now.
The 25/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Vigo County it is layered with foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership data so a rising premium and a looming default can be read on the same parcel.
A moderate level of 25/100 in Vigo County flags likely seller supply — coverage cost is crossing the threshold where owners weigh selling over renewing.
The reading rests on a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 74/100 over three years - the specific exposures that widen premiums and shrink the carrier pool in Vigo County.
Rebuilding is expensive in this market -- 28/100 on construction distress -- and coverage is priced off exactly that number.
Hazard 0/100 plus flood-claim stress 74/100 is the pairing that separates insurance-motivated sellers from ordinary distress in Vigo County.
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. So the outreach lands while the owner is still weighing the renewal, not once the sign is up.
