How premiums compare with risk in Gilmer County
County premium data is limited, so we use statewide NAIC average premiums for context. This does not represent a quote or a recommendation.
38
/ 100
Statewide average premium: $1,227
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.
