Waushara County, WI: Home-Insurance Distress & Forced-Sale Pressure
DLRadar grades Waushara County, Wisconsin at 7/100 for home-insurance distress, a low level that places it #2382 of 3,222 counties, in the lower-risk band nationally. Coverage that keeps repricing upward quietly manufactures motivated sellers well before a foreclosure notice.
Driving it: a FEMA hazard score of 0/100; NFIP flood-claim stress of 20/100 over three years, all of which push carriers toward higher rates or non-renewal.
Rebuild-cost inflation compounds it: construction-distress reads 55/100, so replacement and repair costs — the basis insurers use to set premiums — are running hot.
The federal flood record here -- 2 claims at roughly $0 each -- is the loss experience premiums are built on.
The 7/100 signal is only useful next to the rest: in Waushara 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.
Waushara County's 7/100 is the kind of reading that shows up later as inventory: owners absorb one renewal, then list before the next.
Because Waushara County is rebuilt monthly from fresh federal and carrier inputs, the score you see is current to the latest renewal cycle, and its #2382 national rank moves as conditions do.
Hazard exposure of 0/100 alongside 20/100 in flood-claim stress is the combination that turns Waushara County owners into insurance-motivated sellers.
The nationwide monthly build covers all 3,222 counties and connects Waushara County reading to real foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership records. That is how coverage-pressured owners surface before they reach the open market.
