Average home insurance costs by ZIP code in 2022

The average cost of homeowners insurance in the U.S. is $1,899 per year. Several factors impact your home insurance rates, including the size and age of your home, your claims history, deductible amount, and much more. 

But the location of your home is likely the biggest single indicator of how much you’ll pay for home insurance. Certain parts of the country are prone to extreme weather and natural disasters, while others may have higher-than-average rebuild costs due to high construction demand and inflation. 

Rates also tend to differ depending on the ZIP code your house is located in. A ZIP code with a high rate of property crime and other risks will generally see higher average home insurance premiums than a neighboring ZIP code with a lower crime rate.
