DLRadar grades Perry County, Missouri at 21/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2166 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. The trigger here is the premium, not the payment: uninsurable or unaffordable coverage moves owners to list ahead of any default.
A low level of 21/100 in Perry County flags likely seller supply — coverage cost is crossing the threshold where owners weigh selling over renewing.
DLRadar does not treat 21/100 as a standalone number — the Perry 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 23/100 construction-distress score means repair and replacement economics are working against affordability of coverage.
The Perry County reading is not static - monthly FEMA, NFIP and carrier updates re-score it so it tracks the current renewal season rather than an average.
Driving it: a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years, all of which push carriers toward higher rates or non-renewal.
NFIP paid $0 across 0 Perry County flood claims in three years, roughly $0 each; that record is what reprices coverage.
It is the combination -- 41/100 hazard, 0/100 claims -- that makes carrying cost the operative trigger here rather than the loan.
The same monthly model runs nationwide — FEMA, NFIP and carrier pressure — and ties Perry County's score to on-the-ground foreclosure and ownership data. That surfaces the coverage-squeezed owners ahead of the market.
