Ohio Home-Insurance Distress by County

Home-insurance distress across Ohio is below the national average, with an average county insurance-distress score of 14/100 — the 44th-highest of the 52 states and territories DLRadar scores. DLRadar tracks all 88 Ohio counties for the rising premiums, non-renewals and carrier pullback that turn ordinary owners into motivated sellers, often well before any foreclosure filing appears.

Statewide, the pressure is driven by an average FEMA hazard score of 0/100 and average NFIP flood-claim stress of 41/100. These are the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew, and they are why premiums in Ohio keep climbing faster than incomes.

Over the trailing three years, Ohio counties recorded 398 NFIP flood claims totaling $12,819,309 paid — the loss history that insurers convert directly into higher premiums and thinner coverage the following renewal cycle.

The sharpest pressure concentrates in Hamilton County (32/100, #1441 nationally) and Summit County. The county-by-county breakdown below ranks every Ohio market by insurance distress, each linking to its full report.

DLRadar scores insurance distress monthly for every U.S. county from FEMA, NFIP and carrier-pressure data, then ties it to parcel-level foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership signals — so in Ohio you can find the owners whose breaking point is the insurance bill, before they list.
