Average Home Insurance Costs by ZIP Code (2024)

The average cost of homeowners insurance in the U.S. is $1,754 per year, according to our latest insurance pricing analysis. While insurance companies consider several different factors to determine your premium, your home's location and the frequency of natural disasters where you live are two of the biggest indicators of how much you'll pay for homeowners insurance. For example, areas that are prone to extreme weather patterns or property crime will generally see high home insurance premiums on average due to location risk.

Why do neighboring ZIP codes have different average home insurance prices?

Some ZIP codes, including neighboring ones, are often exposed to different risks or could have significantly higher or lower home values compared to your ZIP code. Because a home's location risk and size are two of the main drivers of insurance rates, average home insurance prices can fluctuate drastically from area to area.

Cheapest & most expensive ZIP codes for home insurance

Average home insurance premiums are often analyzed on the state level to give homeowners an idea of how much their policy will cost. However, given that a home's risk of damage can vary so much depending on its specific location, state averages may not paint the most accurate picture for homeowners.

For example, while the average annual home insurance premium across the entire state of Texas is $2,919 — which is the 4th highest of any state — homeowners in the 79925 ZIP code of El Paso pay an average of $1,626 per year, or 44% less than the state average. This is likely because homes in El Paso and other areas in West Texas don't face the same type of risks as those on the eastern half of the state.

Is there a connection between crime rates and home insurance costs by ZIP code?

Assuming all other factors that influence policy cost (like home age, size, location, credit score) are equal, a home in a ZIP code with a high rate of property crime like theft, vandalism, or arson will likely cost more to insure than a home in a neighboring ZIP code with a lower crime rate.

Average high-value home insurance rates by ZIP code

Home insurance rates are also impacted by your policy’s dwelling coverage limit, which is the part of your policy that pays to repair or rebuild your house after a covered loss. Your dwelling coverage limit should be based on your home's replacement cost, or the cost to rebuild it from the ground up.

Here are the cheapest ZIP codes for high-value homes (homes with at least $500,000 in dwelling coverage) in the 10 U.S. states with the highest median home value, according to Zillow. [1]

State	City	ZIP code	Average annual cost
Hawaii	Ewa Gentry	96706	$489
Utah	Clearfield	84015	$739
New Jersey	Flemington	08822	$1,074
Oregon	Aloha	97006	$1,197

Home insurance premiums continue to skyrocket in 2024

Our 2023 policycentral Home Insurance Pricing Report found that 94% of policyholders faces a rate increase at renewal from May 20, 2022 to May 20, 2023.

During this time, the average quoted renewal premium was 21% higher nationally compared to the average of what homeowners were previously paying — roughly 9% higher than the 12% increase we reported in 2022.

Altogether, home insurance premiums increased 35% nationally from 2021 to 2023, with homeowners in Florida (68%), New Mexico (47%), Colorado (46%), Idaho (46%), and Texas (46%) facing the biggest average increases during that span.

And rate hikes aren’t ending any time soon. Wildfires out West, hurricanes in the South, and tornadoes in the heartland have all contributed to home insurance companies pulling out of many states and raising premiums in 2024 to counteract the outsized risk of homeowners filing claims.

We've already seen national insurers including State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, and Farmers either pull out of states completely or reduce their exposure in high-risk areas, and we continue to see this more as hurricane and wildfire season approach.

How ZIP codes influence home insurance prices

There are several different factors that can impact homeowners insurance rates — from the age and size of your home to your claims history to your credit score. But broadly speaking, your home's location will likely have the biggest impact on your final premium.

Certain parts of the country, such as parts of Florida and Texas, face a high probability of extreme weather and extensive property damage. As a result, insurers often charge higher rates to homeowners in disaster-prone parts of these states — such as specific ZIP codes or communities in or around these areas — to offset the anticipated high-dollar amount losses.

Insurers will also often charge higher rates after major disasters to help pay for additional expenses that they didn't account for in prior rate filings. This can happen, for example, if rebuild costs suddenly skyrocket after a catastrophe due to the higher construction demand in impacted areas, or when a disaster damages homes in areas that were considered low risk (and therefore paid a lower premium).

Rate increases resulting from "actualized losses" — or losses that have already happened — are often spread out to homeowners across a state, region, or in some cases the entire country.
