Franklin County, MS: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Franklin County, Mississippi carries a elevated home-insurance-distress reading of 53/100 — ranked #978 nationally, in the upper half of U.S. counties. Rising carrying cost from insurance — not the mortgage — is increasingly what pushes these owners to sell.
The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 71/100 over three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.
The Franklin County figures refresh on a monthly cadence as FEMA hazard revisions, new NFIP claim settlements and updated carrier filings land, so the 53/100 reading reflects the current renewal environment rather than a historical average.
Read as a targeting input, 53/100 puts Franklin County #978 of 3,222 — high enough that renewal-driven listings should be expected rather than treated as outliers.
DLRadar reads Franklin County's 53/100 beside its default, lien and ownership records, so a rising premium and a looming foreclosure surface on the same parcel.
Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 20/100 that input is running hot in Franklin County.
It is the combination -- 41/100 hazard, 71/100 claims -- that makes carrying cost the operative trigger here rather than the loan.
With 1 flood claims and $53,153 in payouts on the three-year record, Franklin County gives underwriters a concrete reason to reprice or exit.
Every county gets the same monthly FEMA/NFIP/carrier scoring, linked through to parcel-level distress and ownership data. It turns a premium shock into a contactable seller list ahead of the listing.
