Rebuilding is expensive in this market -- 3/100 on construction distress -- and coverage is priced off exactly that number.

A 41/100 hazard base sitting alongside 0/100 in realized flood stress is the signature DLRadar treats as insurance-driven seller pressure.
The reading rests on a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years - the specific exposures that widen premiums and shrink the carrier pool in Miller County.
Monthly rebuilds keep Miller County honest: 21/100 reflects the renewal environment carriers are pricing right now.
One model, every county, refreshed monthly from federal hazard and carrier data, tied back to individual parcels and their liens. So the outreach lands while the owner is still weighing the renewal, not once the sign is up.
