Owsley County, KY: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Home-insurance pressure in Owsley County, Kentucky is currently elevated — an insurance-distress score of 47/100, in the upper half of U.S. counties at #1067 of the 3,222 U.S. counties DLRadar scores. When coverage gets expensive or impossible to renew, affected owners list early, ahead of any mortgage-default signal.
What lifts Owsley County's reading is a FEMA hazard score of 93/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; these are exactly the risks that widen premiums and thin the carrier pool.
DLRadar re-scores Owsley County every month against the latest FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, so 47/100 tracks the live market — not a snapshot frozen at some earlier point.
Read together, a 93/100 hazard base and 0/100 flood-claim stress explain why Owsley County screens as a place where coverage cost, not the loan, is the likely sale trigger.
DLRadar does not treat 47/100 as a standalone number — the Owsley 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.
A 1/100 construction-distress score means repair and replacement economics are working against affordability of coverage.
Over the trailing three years, Owsley County recorded 0 NFIP flood claims totaling $0 paid (about $0 per claim) — the loss history that pushes premiums up and coverage out.
Owsley County's 47/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.
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 is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
