DLRadar grades Traill County, North Dakota at 21/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2210 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. Rising carrying cost from insurance — not the mortgage — is increasingly what pushes these owners to sell.
What 21/100 means on the ground in Traill County is simple — coverage cost is becoming a decision point for owners here, and DLRadar's job is to flag the parcels where that decision tips toward selling.
Insurers set premiums from replacement cost, and at 78/100 that input is running hot in Traill County.
A 41/100 hazard base sitting alongside 0/100 in realized flood stress is the signature DLRadar treats as insurance-driven seller pressure.
Flood losses tell the story: 0 NFIP claims and $0 paid out over three years, averaging $0 apiece -- exactly the history that hardens rates.
Behind the score sit a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years, each a factor insurers weigh when they raise rates or exit a market.
DLRadar re-scores Traill County every month against the latest FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, so 21/100 tracks the live market — not a snapshot frozen at some earlier point.
The 21/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Traill 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.
Every U.S. county gets this monthly insurance-distress read from FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, wired to parcel-level foreclosure, lien and ownership records. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
