Premium pressure
above risk baseline by 29 pts
NAIC 2023 average premium

Statewide average premium: $1,297

Premium pressure sits above the current risk baseline, which can reflect market, regulatory, or timing effects.

Why this can happen

  • Rate adjustments can lag current loss experience and risk shifts.
  • Market structure and competition can push premiums above or below modeled risk.
  • Repair costs, litigation pressure, or catastrophe load can amplify pricing beyond baseline risk signals.
