DLRadar grades Mora County, New Mexico at 28/100 for home-insurance distress, a moderate level that places it #1636 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.
Read as a targeting input, 28/100 puts Mora County #1636 of 3,222 — high enough that renewal-driven listings should be expected rather than treated as outliers.
NFIP paid $442,303 across 55 Mora County flood claims in three years, roughly $8,042 each; that record is what reprices coverage.
What lifts Mora County's reading is a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 82/100 over three years; these are exactly the risks that widen premiums and thin the carrier pool.
Put the 0/100 hazard reading next to 82/100 in flood-claim stress and the pattern is a county where owners exit over premiums.
Because premiums track rebuild cost, a 0/100 construction-distress reading in Mora County feeds straight through to what owners are quoted.
A #1636 national standing means little alone; DLRadar pairs Mora County's coverage stress with default and ownership data before calling a parcel distressed.
DLRadar re-scores Mora County every month against the latest FEMA, NFIP and carrier data, so 28/100 tracks the live market — not a snapshot frozen at some earlier point.
