Home Insurance

How insurance companies set rates for home insurance:
Municipal property insurance rates are set largely by water supply and quality of fire department. Classes range from 10 (fire department more than 5 miles away, generally without reliable water supply) to 1 for the best equipment, water supply, and paid full time fire fighters. In some towns, classification is split. The portions of town with hydrants within 1,000 feet and the fire department within 5 miles could be, for example, protection class 5. Where the fire department is within 5 miles but the houses are not within 1,000 feet of a hydrant, the area would usually be protection class 9. The rates would be significantly different.

Insurance companies contribute information on property losses at a specific location to the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE). So all insurance companies have access to any loss information at a home. They also review facts about home owners and apply those as credits and debits against the price for home insurance.
Car insurance rates for an area vary by accident frequency and severity, car theft frequency, law suit frequency, and other factors.
