DLRadar grades Luce County, Michigan at 0/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2707 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. Rising carrying cost from insurance — not the mortgage — is increasingly what pushes these owners to sell.
Luce County's 0/100 is recomputed each month from federal hazard, claim and carrier filings, which is why its #2707 position shifts between updates.
Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 51/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.
Read together, a 0/100 hazard base and 0/100 flood-claim stress explain why Luce County screens as a place where coverage cost, not the loan, is the likely sale trigger.
