Rock County, WI: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure

With 10 flood claims and $0 in payouts on the three-year record, Rock County gives underwriters a concrete reason to reprice or exit.
Construction distress sits at 48/100, so the replacement cost insurers underwrite against is elevated here.

What 41/100 means on the ground in Rock County is simple — coverage cost is becoming a decision point for owners here, and DLRadar's job is to flag the parcels where that decision tips toward selling.
