Cass County, MN: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Cass County, Minnesota carries a moderate home-insurance-distress reading of 26/100 — ranked #1775 nationally, in the lower-risk band nationally. Rising carrying cost from insurance — not the mortgage — is increasingly what pushes these owners to sell.
Rebuilding is expensive in this market -- 52/100 on construction distress -- and coverage is priced off exactly that number.
The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 51/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; 1 flood federal disaster declaration in three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.
The declaration history is led by flood events — the peril most likely to drive non-renewals locally.
Cass County's 26/100 is recomputed each month from federal hazard, claim and carrier filings, which is why its #1775 position shifts between updates.
It is the combination -- 51/100 hazard, 0/100 claims -- that makes carrying cost the operative trigger here rather than the loan.
Three years of NFIP activity in Cass County comes to 0 claims worth $0, and that ledger is what carriers price against.
Cass County's 26/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.
