Marshall County, KS: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure

DLRadar grades Marshall County, Kansas at 21/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2120 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. More and more, it is the insurance bill rather than the mortgage that turns a Marshall County owner into a seller.

Behind the score sit a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years, each a factor insurers weigh when they raise rates or exit a market.

What 21/100 means on the ground in Marshall 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.

DLRadar re-scores Marshall County every month against the latest FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, so 21/100 tracks the live market — not a snapshot frozen at some earlier point.

Put the 41/100 hazard reading next to 0/100 in flood-claim stress and the pattern is a county where owners exit over premiums.

Insurance distress rarely travels by itself, so DLRadar aligns Marshall County's 21/100 with foreclosure, lien and ownership records — separating owners squeezed only by coverage from those under broader strain.

The federal flood record here -- 0 claims at roughly $0 each -- is the loss experience premiums are built on.

Rebuilding is expensive in this market -- 87/100 on construction distress -- and coverage is priced off exactly that number.

This monthly read runs on every U.S. county from FEMA, NFIP and carrier-pressure inputs, then joins to parcel-level foreclosure, lien and ownership records. That surfaces the coverage-squeezed owners ahead of the market.
