Statewide average premium: $1,010
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.
