Source: National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 2024 Auto Insurance Database Average Premium Supplement, September 2026, 2024 data, 51 jurisdictions (50 states + DC), all insured vehicles. Average expenditure is what the average insured vehicle costs to insure; the combined average premium is liability + collision + comprehensive. Retrieved 6 November 2026.

Every jurisdiction rose. There is no state where the average fell. The five biggest percentage rises (computed): Washington +23.1% (+$265.96), California +18.7% (+$229.25), Nevada +16.5% (+$241.37), Arkansas +13.6% (+$140.20), Massachusetts +13.3% (+$177.06). The five biggest dollar rises (computed): Washington +$265.96, Nevada +$241.37, New York +$229.96, California +$229.25, Georgia +$203.56. The smallest rises (computed): Hawaii +5.0% (+$44.81), Wyoming +6.7% (+$63.60), Florida +7.4% (+$139.57). Florida rose least in percentage terms but is still the most expensive state in dollars, because it started highest.
Eighteen jurisdictions sit above the national average (computed); fifteen average more than $1,500 a year (computed). The median jurisdiction is Minnesota at $1,231.57 (computed).
NAIC itself warns that state-to-state comparisons should be treated with a high degree of caution: limits, deductibles, laws, and demographics differ between states. An average is not a quote, no individual driver pays the average.

Finding 2: health insurance: the 2027 benchmark jumps 12.5%, with two states going the other way
The national benchmark average rises from $625 a month (2026) to $703 (2027), up 12.5% (computed). KFF’s context: the jump reflects expiring enhanced premium tax credits and filed rate increases for 2027. What a person actually pays after tax credits can be far lower than the figure in this table: the profile here is a 40-year-old before subsidies, not a price after a credit.

The five biggest percentage rises (computed): Montana +28.5% (+$197), New York +27.4% (+$224), Delaware +26.8% (+$185), Washington +25.5% (+$156), South Carolina +24.5% (+$138). Two states move the other way: Oregon’s benchmark falls 4.4% ($543 to $519) and Arkansas’s falls 2.2% ($774 to $757). They are the only two jurisdictions where the 2027 benchmark is lower than 2026 (computed).
The spread is wide: Vermont’s 2027 benchmark is $1,313 a month; New Hampshire’s is $486: a 2.70x gap (computed). Alaska ($1,284), Connecticut ($1,005), New York ($1,041), West Virginia ($1,185) and Wyoming ($1,190) are the other four-figure benchmarks.

Finding 3: homeowners insurance: the widest gap, and Texas up 78% in six years
The countrywide HO-3 average is $1,737 a year. The cheapest state is Wisconsin at $923; the most expensive is Louisiana at $3,027, a 3.28x gap (computed), wider than auto (2.22x) or health benchmarks (2.70x). Nineteen states sit above the national average (computed); the median state is New Jersey at $1,551 (computed). Renters (HO-4) average $173 a year countrywide; dwelling-fire averages $1,019: shown separately, never averaged in with HO-3, because dwelling-fire cover is not directly comparable to homeowners cover.

Texas: average premium, 2019-2025
Source: Texas Department of Insurance, Homeowners Market Overview, 2019-2025 series, 2025 preliminary. Retrieved 6 November 2026. Current as of November 2026. The Texas average homeowners premium rose from $1,961 in 2019 to $3,489 in 2025 (preliminary), up $1,528, or 77.9%, in six years (computed). The two biggest single-year jumps in the series are 2022→2023 (+17.7%, $2,374 to $2,795) and 2023→2024 (+17.7%, $2,795 to $3,291) (computed). The latest year, 2024→2025, is +6.0% ($3,291 to $3,489, preliminary) (computed). Texas’s 2023 NAIC HO-3 figure ($2,864) is 1.65x the national average (computed).
Year-over-year changes in the table are computed from the published TDI series. The 2025 figure is preliminary and may be revised.

Finding 4: inside Florida: one county pays 3.74x another
Florida’s statewide average is not published in this report, the report prints no statewide row, so none is shown here. What the report does publish is all 67 counties. Monroe County averages $7,863 a year; Sumter County averages $2,105, a 3.74x gap inside a single state (computed). The median county is Lafayette at $2,903 (computed). Eight counties average over $5,000 a year (Monroe $7,863, Palm Beach $6,323, Broward $6,136, Miami-Dade $5,975, Martin $5,899, Collier $5,534, Walton $5,409, Franklin $5,221) (computed); ten average over $4,000 (computed); thirty average over $3,000 (computed). The report also notes the average homeowners premium fell in 51 of 67 counties from the January 2026 report.

What does this study say, and what does it not say?
- These are averages, not quotes. No figure here is what any individual pays. Averages hide the spread inside each state, by age, driving record, home age and construction, coverage limits, deductibles, and credit-based factors where allowed.
- State comparisons need the NAIC caution. Limits, deductibles, laws, and demographics differ between states. A higher average in one state does not mean the same driver would pay more there.
- The health figures are before subsidies. The 2027 benchmark jump (+12.5%) is the pre-credit premium for a 40-year-old. What people actually pay after premium tax credits can be far lower, and the expiring enhanced credits are part of why the pre-credit figure jumps.
- The Texas 2025 figure is preliminary. The TDI series labels 2025 preliminary; it may be revised.
- Florida has no statewide figure in this study because the FL OIR report prints none. A simple mean of the 67 county averages would be unweighted and wrong, and has not been computed.
- What is missing on purpose: no life, pet, travel, or umbrella averages (no free official source publishes one); no per-carrier prices (no free source publishes a per-carrier base premium); no flood averages (no FEMA-published national average was found in the sources used). 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 carries its statistic, source, date, and profile. Derived figures (year-over-year dollar and percentage change, ratios between published figures, medians, counts of jurisdictions above a threshold) are arithmetic on the published figures and are labelled as computed in this study, not as source figures.

Note: Florida’s and Louisiana’s combined premiums are copied exactly as NAIC prints them in Table 5 (Florida $2,174.55, Louisiana $2,151.12 for 2024); the three coverage averages sum to $0.01 more for Florida and $0.01 less for Louisiana, rounding in NAIC’s own tables, not corrected here.
