Frio County, TX: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure

Insurance distress in Frio County, Texas reads moderate (36/100), in the upper half of U.S. counties — #1377 nationally. The trigger here is the premium, not the payment: uninsurable or unaffordable coverage moves owners to list ahead of any default.

The reading rests on a FEMA hazard score of 71/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 0/100 over three years; 2 flood federal disaster declarations in three years - the specific exposures that widen premiums and shrink the carrier pool in Frio County.

Underwriters read this county through flood first -- it is the recurring driver in the declaration history.

With 0 flood claims and $0 in payouts on the three-year record, Frio County gives underwriters a concrete reason to reprice or exit.
