Hazard Insurance Payment

Question about Hazard Insurance on Rental Property.  I had a rental house damaged by Hurricane Michael in 2018.  When the insurance paid out the claim in 2019 for $75k, I found that this would not cover the rebuilding of the property.   So, I sold the property in 2019 for $100k in damaged as-is condition.  My cost in the property was $100k so it was sold for the same amount as the cost of the rental property.  Since none of the $75k was used in rebuilding the home, do I need to claim that as income for 2019?.
