OHIO HOMEOWNERS AVERAGE INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASED SLIGHTLY IN 2007
Jan 14, 2010 by Courtesy of Ohio Department of Insurance
Ohio Department of Insurance Director Mary Jo Hudson has announced that on average Ohioans paid slightly more for homeowners insurance in 2007 than in 2006. Ohio’s homeowners insurance premiums remained the 6th lowest in the country. The news comes based on a report issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
“A competitive market assures lower insurance premiums for all Ohioans,” Director Hudson said. “The Department will continue to monitor these markets, and also assure that Ohioans have access to coverage at a fair price.”
Statistics in the NAIC report show that Ohioans paid an average homeowners insurance premium of $548 in 2007, the most recent year data is available. In 2006, the average homeowners insurance premium was $542. Those figures are far lower than the national average homeowners insurance premium of $816, up from $801 in 2006.
The average premium is a weighted average of all the homeowners insurance policy forms (Dwelling Fire, HO-1, HO-2, HO-3, HO-5 and HO-8). The average premium is determined by dividing the total premium for a state by the number of insured homes. Its magnitude reflects the insured values of homes in a state, a state's exposure to catastrophic losses, fire, theft and other types of losses, construction costs, and other factors that impact insured home values and the number and size of insured claims.
