Insurance.com Releases New Data on Most and Least Expensive ZIP
Codes for Home Insurance
FOSTER CITY, Calif., March
31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The highest homeowners' insurance
rates in the nation belong to ZIP code 33070, home to Islamorada
Village of Islands, on Plantation
Key in Florida, according
to Insurance.com's analysis of average rates for nearly every ZIP
code in the country.
ZIP codes in Louise, Texas and
Mobile, Alabama rank second and
third, respectively, according to Insurance.com, an independent
consumer guide to insurance.
Homeowners can enter a ZIP code in Insurance.com's average
home insurance calculator to see the average premium for the
location, as well as the highest and lowest rates from among six
insurers. You can get a customized rate by choosing from among 10
coverage levels, so you know what to expect to pay and can see how
much you can save by comparing home insurance companies.
Home insurance companies consider many factors when setting
rates. Chief among them are your home's location, which reflects
its exposure to hazards, such as storm damage, wild fires,
burglaries and so on, your home's value and the cost to rebuild it,
as well as your credit history, in states that allow that
practice.
"Rates can fluctuate significantly from state to state, or even
neighborhood to neighborhood, depending on how insurers assess the
various things they look at," said Michelle
Megna, editorial director of Insurance.com. "That's why,
regardless of where you live, if you don't compare rates, you can
wind up overpaying by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of
dollars."
