Lawrence County, PA: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
Home-insurance pressure in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania is currently moderate — an insurance-distress score of 25/100, in the lower-risk band nationally at #1919 of the 3,222 U.S. counties DLRadar scores. When coverage gets expensive or impossible to renew, affected owners list early, ahead of any mortgage-default signal.
What lifts Lawrence County's reading is a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 72/100 over three years; these are exactly the risks that widen premiums and thin the carrier pool.
Construction distress sits at 50/100, so the replacement cost insurers underwrite against is elevated here.
The federal flood record here -- 4 claims at roughly $16,654 each -- is the loss experience premiums are built on.
For an acquisition buyer, a moderate reading of 25/100 in Lawrence County is a targeting cue: it says a meaningful slice of local owners face a coverage bill rising faster than they planned for, and some will sell rather than absorb it.
A #1919 national standing means little alone; DLRadar pairs Lawrence County's coverage stress with default and ownership data before calling a parcel distressed.
Each month new hazard revisions and claim settlements refresh Lawrence County, keeping its insurance-distress score aligned with the live market.
Hazard exposure of 0/100 alongside 72/100 in flood-claim stress is the combination that turns Lawrence County owners into insurance-motivated sellers.
