Premium pressure context

How premiums compare with risk in New Hampshire

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.

Premium pressure
below risk baseline by 41 pts
NAIC 2023 average premium

Average combined premium: $1,032

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.
