Rates vary according to how likely it is a claim will be filed and how much it will likely cost. For example, a homeowner living in a wildfire-prone area would pay a higher insurance rate than a homeowner living in a low risk area.
How your insurance rates are set also depends in part on which state you live in, because rates are regulated on a state-by-state basis. The insurer has to follow the regulations of the state you live in. For more information on insurance rating and regulation, click here.
