Average insurance costs by state

What drivers and homeowners actually paid, from the regulators that publish it. Two new datasets sit behind this page. The NAIC published its 2024 Auto Insurance Database Average Premium Supplement in September 2026 — the newest countrywide picture of what drivers actually paid. And KFF published 2027 marketplace benchmarks showing the national benchmark premium up 12.5% on 2026, to $703 a month for a 40-year-old before subsidies. This page puts those two datasets beside the published homeowners averages — NAIC 2023, Texas TDI, and Florida OIR county data — on one citable page. Last updated: 7 November 2026.

Educational only — not a quote, not a recommendation. Every figure on this page is an average for a stated profile, from a published source, with the source, date, and profile beside it. None of them is your price: your age, vehicle, home, driving or claims history, and the cover you choose will move your price away from the average. Per-carrier prices are not on this page at all — no free source publishes them — so every carrier premium on this site stays quote-only. No savings claim appears here, no “best” verdict is drawn from these tables, and no carrier rating appears.

Auto — what drivers paid, by state

Published average

Average expenditure and combined average premium — NAIC 2024 Auto Insurance Database Average Premium Supplement, September 2026, 2024 data, all insured vehicles, 51 jurisdictions (50 states + DC). Average expenditure is what the average insured vehicle costs to insure; the combined average premium is liability + collision + comprehensive. Countrywide: average expenditure $1,431.63 per year (2023: $1,281.61); combined average premium $1,612.81 per year (2023: $1,438.51). NAIC warns state-to-state comparisons should be treated with a high degree of caution: limits, deductibles, laws, and demographics differ between states.

Note on the printed figures: Florida's and Louisiana's combined premiums are copied exactly as NAIC prints them in Table 5 — Florida $2,174.55 and Louisiana $2,151.12 for 2024. The three coverage averages in Tables 1–3 sum to $0.01 more for Florida and $0.01 less for Louisiana; the difference is rounding in NAIC's own tables, and the printed figures are not “corrected” here.

Health — marketplace premiums, by state

Published average

Average monthly marketplace premiums by metal tier — KFF State Health Facts, for a 40-year-old, before premium tax credits, enrollment-weighted county averages, 51 jurisdictions. The benchmark plan is the second-lowest-cost silver plan; it is the plan premium tax credits are calculated from. Bronze is the lowest-cost bronze plan, silver the lowest-cost silver plan, gold the lowest-cost gold plan.

Source: KFF State Health Facts — Average Monthly Marketplace Premiums by Metal Tier, retrieved 2026-11-06. Current as of November 2026. Full method: methodology page.

The 2026 benchmark average was $625 per month; the 2027 benchmark average is $703 per month — a rise of 12.5% nationally. That jump reflects expiring enhanced premium tax credits and filed rate increases for 2027. What you actually pay after tax credits can be far lower than the figure in this table: the profile here is a 40-year-old before subsidies, not your price after a credit.

Countrywide HO-3: $1,737 per year. Lowest state: Wisconsin $923 per year. Highest state: Louisiana $3,027 per year. Oregon: $1,003 per year — an earlier secondary figure of $893 for Oregon is the 2022 value, not 2023, and is not used here.

Renters (HO-4) countrywide: $173 per year. Dwelling-fire countrywide: $1,019 per year — dwelling-fire cover is not directly comparable to homeowners cover, so it is shown separately and never averaged in with HO-3.

Florida — average homeowners premium by county

Published average

Average premium actually charged — Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, Property Insurance Stability Report, 1 July 2026, Market Intelligence Report data as of 31 March 2026. Method: total premium in force divided by policies in force, owner-occupied homeowners policies in the admitted market. The average homeowners premium (traditional policies including wind) fell in 51 of 67 counties from the January 2026 report. The report also publishes condo unit-owner averages; only homeowners figures are shown here.

Source: Florida OIR Property Insurance Stability Report (PDF), retrieved 2026-11-06. Current as of November 2026. Full method: methodology page.

No statewide row is shown, because the report does not print one. Statewide averages sometimes quoted elsewhere ($3,757 with wind / $2,586 without) do not appear anywhere in this report PDF, so they are not published here. A simple mean of the 67 county averages would be unweighted and wrong, and has not been computed.

California — average premium (separate figures, read the flag)

Published average

Average homeowners premium — California Department of Insurance, Sustainable Insurance Strategy, page updated 27 October 2026. California: $1,571 per year. United States: $1,512 per year.

Source: California Department of Insurance — Sustainable Insurance Strategy, retrieved 2026-11-06. Current as of November 2026. Full method: methodology page.

Flag: the data year is not stated. The California Department of Insurance page does not say which year these averages cover. Do not read them as the same series as the NAIC 2023 figures above — the NAIC California HO-3 average for 2023 is $1,655 and the countrywide HO-3 average is $1,737, a different measure from a different source. These two CDI figures are kept in this separate box for that reason, and are never mixed with the NAIC table.

What is NOT here

This page shows only what a free official source publishes as an average. Three things are missing on purpose:

  • Life, pet, travel, and umbrella averages. No free official source was found that publishes an average premium for any of these lines, so no figure is shown for them — not even an estimate. The line pages show what each carrier publishes (cover options, features, discounts, quote routes) instead of a price.
  • Per-carrier prices. No free source publishes a per-carrier base premium for auto or home, so every carrier premium on this site is quote-only: no price is shown for any provider, and you get the price from the carrier's own quote route.
  • Flood averages. No FEMA-published national average flood premium is shown here, because none was found in the published sources used for this page. Standard home policies generally exclude flood; flood is a separate policy or endorsement where offered.

The honesty is the point: a table with a gap stated beats a table with a gap filled in from an unofficial source.

Methodology and sources

Figures are copied exactly as the source prints them — no rounding, no estimating, no “correcting” a source's own rounding. Every figure on this page carries the “Published average” label with its statistic, source, date, and profile. The full method for each source is on the methodology page; the notes below are the short version, one per source.
