Homeowners insurance rates by state
The national average cost of homeowners insurance is $2,329 per year for $300,000 in dwelling coverage, but this cost will likely differ depending on which state you live in. Knowing both the national average and how the average rate in your state compares could be useful baselines while shopping for home insurance. The map and table below show the average cost of homeowners insurance by state and percentage of income spent, giving a quick view of how your state compares to others.
We’ve also shared some of the common risks to homes and property in each state below. Keep in mind that while flooding is a concern in many states, flood insurance is not part of standard homeowners policies. If you live in an area at risk for flooding, you will need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy. Earthquakes are also a common homeowners insurance exclusion. Like floods, earthquake damage must be covered by a separate policy.
Alabama
Alabama’s geographic location makes it vulnerable to numerous strong storms. Tornadoes and hurricanes are relatively common, and parts of the state are vulnerable to widespread flooding. The higher likelihood of home damage in Alabama could be why its average homeowners insurance rates are higher than the national average.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has declared 22 disasters in the D.C. area since 1953. These include nine severe storms, six hurricanes and three winter events. Although the area has a low risk for earthquakes, a 5.8 magnitude quake in Virginia in 2011 did impact the nation’s capital. The earthquake caused an estimated $20 million in damage to the National Cathedral and cracked the Washington Monument.

West Virginia
Most counties in West Virginia have a higher-than-average risk of flooding. Although West Virginia isn’t coastal, the state is close enough to feel the impact of hurricanes and tropical storms that move north. Like Pennsylvania, West Virginia’s mining history puts many homes at risk for mine subsidence damage, as well. Plus, the state faces a moderate risk of wildfires.

Rising home insurance premiums continue to be driven by a large volume of catastrophe losses. In 2024, the U.S. property/casualty industry sustained more than $100 billion in natural disaster losses for the third time in the last four years. This included five landfalling hurricanes and more than $50 billion in severe convective storm losses for the second consecutive year. Other factors driving the increase in home premiums are higher costs of construction materials and labor, and an expanding trend of legal system abuse. Billboard attorneys are preying upon vulnerable catastrophe victims with marketing tactics to convince them that the only way to settle a damage claim is to hire a lawyer. This escalation in litigated claims is costing all homeowners more for their insurance.Mark Friedlander, Director of corporate communications, Insurance Information Institute
