Clatsop County, OR: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Clatsop County, Oregon carries a elevated home-insurance-distress reading of 51/100 — ranked #1004 nationally, in the upper half of U.S. counties. When coverage gets expensive or impossible to renew, affected owners list early, ahead of any mortgage-default signal.
Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 66/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.
A elevated level of 51/100 in Clatsop County flags likely seller supply — coverage cost is crossing the threshold where owners weigh selling over renewing.
With 3 flood claims and $22,179 in payouts on the three-year record, Clatsop County gives underwriters a concrete reason to reprice or exit.
The 51/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Clatsop 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.
The Clatsop County figures refresh on a monthly cadence as FEMA hazard revisions, new NFIP claim settlements and updated carrier filings land, so the 51/100 reading reflects the current renewal environment rather than a historical average.
The pressure here is driven by a FEMA hazard score of 41/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 65/100 over three years — the exposures carriers price against and increasingly decline to renew.
It is the combination -- 41/100 hazard, 65/100 claims -- that makes carrying cost the operative trigger here rather than the loan.
Every county gets the same monthly FEMA/NFIP/carrier scoring, linked through to parcel-level distress and ownership data. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
