Premium pressure context
How premiums compare with risk in Missouri
This context index uses public NAIC average premium data to show how pricing pressure compares with the risk baseline. It is not a quote or a recommendation.
60
/ 100
Average combined premium: $1,323
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.
