Homeowners Insurance Becoming Increasingly Unaffordable Across US, New Insurance Research Council Brief Finds (Business Wire)
|
|
Latest analysis highlights trends, geographic disparities and cost drivers behind rising premiumsMALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over the past two decades, the average cost of claims per insured home in the U.S. has risen faster than inflation, driven by natural disasters, rising home repair costs, supply chain disruptions and population shifts into high-risk areas, according to a new research brief by the Insurance Research Council (IRC), an affiliate of The Institutes.
Homeowners Insurance Affordability: Countrywide Trends and State Comparisons finds that insurance expenditures have consistently outpaced income growth, with affordability reaching its lowest point in 2024. Using its Affordability Index, which compares average homeowners insurance costs to median household income, the IRC reports that U.S. households spent 2.09% of income on insurance in 2022, up from 1.19% in 2001. That figure is projected to reach 2.4% in 2024.
“This steady upward trajectory signals ongoing challenges in the insurance ...

|
|
MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The affordability of personal auto insurance is estimated to have deteriorated from 2021 through 2024 as insurance companies increase premiums to offset inflationary loss pressures, according to an updated study from the Insurance Research Council (IRC), an affiliate of The Institutes. Despite this recent deterioration, auto insurance is more affordable than in the mid-2000s.
Auto Insurance Affordability: Countrywide Trends and State Comparisons looks at the average auto insurance expenditure as a percent of median income, which ranges from a low of 0.93% in North Dakota to a high of 2.67% in Louisiana.
In 2022, the most recent year for which data are available, average expenditures were $1,127, and median household income was $74,580. Thus, U.S. households spent 1.51% of their income per vehicle on auto insurance, a slight increase from the previous year.
