County premium data is limited, so we use statewide NAIC average premiums for context. This does not represent a quote or a recommendation.

Premium pressure
below risk baseline by 10 pts
NAIC 2023 average premium

Statewide average premium: $1,257

Premium pressure sits below the current risk baseline, which can reflect competitive 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.
