What a signpost is How to read this page

A watched question with a line drawn in advance

The threshold was written before the observation existed. That is what stops a state from being argued into place after the fact.

Four states, no probabilities

Observed, emerging, contested, not observed. These are qualitative readings against the threshold. No number is invented here, because an invented number would be the most quotable and least true thing on the page.

It stays alive between revisions

The update condition names what would move the state. A signpost that has stayed quiet is information too, and is published rather than hidden.

Climate Triage

Qualitative signpost review · no probability assigned

Bounded observation

US Treasury's Federal Insurance Office analyzed more than 246 million homeowners policies from over 330 insurers for 2018-2022 and found insurance increasingly costly and less available, with higher nonrenewal rates in ZIP codes with the highest expected climate-related losses.

Trigger threshold

Observed threshold is a large official policy-level dataset showing availability withdrawal/nonrenewal covarying with modeled climate peril, not isolated anecdotes or only premium inflation.

Counter-indicator

The report excludes flood insurance, ends in 2022 and does not show that credit has withdrawn or that adaptation capital systematically favors high-value assets.

Update criterion

Update when FIO/state regulators extend policy-year coverage and when mortgage denial, property-value or adaptation-allocation data can be joined; downgrade if availability normalizes in high-risk ZIP codes.
