Martin County, MN: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Home-insurance pressure in Martin County, Minnesota is currently moderate — an insurance-distress score of 26/100, in the lower-risk band nationally at #1782 of the 3,222 U.S. counties DLRadar scores. More and more, it is the insurance bill rather than the mortgage that turns a Martin County owner into a seller.
Flood losses tell the story: 0 NFIP claims and $0 paid out over three years, averaging $0 apiece -- exactly the history that hardens rates.
It is the combination -- 51/100 hazard, 0/100 claims -- that makes carrying cost the operative trigger here rather than the loan.
The 26/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Martin 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.
In practice, Martin County's moderate insurance-distress level (26/100, #1782 nationally) marks it as a place to watch owner behavior: as renewals land, households that can no longer carry the premium become the motivated sellers worth reaching early.
Flood accounts for the bulk of declared events here, so it drives both pricing and withdrawal decisions.
Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 55/100 that input is running hot in Martin County.
Driving it: 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, all of which push carriers toward higher rates or non-renewal.
The Martin County figures refresh on a monthly cadence as FEMA hazard revisions, new NFIP claim settlements and updated carrier filings land, so the 26/100 reading reflects the current renewal environment rather than a historical average.
The nationwide monthly build covers all 3,222 counties and connects Martin County reading to real foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership records. So you can reach the owners whose trigger is carrying cost — before they list.
