2022 HO-3 AVERAGE

$948

Rank 49 in the Triple-I table of NAIC data. Not a 2026 price. The U.S. figure was $1,569.

2024 WESTERN ZONE

$1,600

Average premium per policy in the NAIC MCAS study. Company data are confidential, so this is not a Nevada average.

ZONE NONRENEWALS

25.1 per 1,000 policies in 2024, the highest zone rate

The rate per 1,000 policies rose from 8.0 in 2022 to 25.1 in 2024. The full 2018–2024 percent change is inside the report’s 96% to 216% range and is not given as its own figure in the summary..

Premium trend

From 2018 to 2024, inflation-adjusted premium per policy in the Western zone: 43.3% after inflation, the high end of the four zones. Nominal average premium per policy rose 74% from 2018 to 2024 in the Western zone, before the inflation adjustment. The 2024 average was $1,600.

The countrywide 2024 book was about $1,600 per policy across 103.3 million policies. Localized ZIP codes move faster than the zone. A March 2026 NAIC data call is collecting ZIP-level detail that this page does not have yet.

What to do with the notice

  1. Find three dates: the date the notice was mailed, the date the policy expires, and the date the company says coverage ends.
  2. Read the reason. “Underwriting reasons,” with nothing under it, is not an explanation you can appeal or fix.
  3. Decide which letter you have. A nonrenewal, a mid-term cancellation, and a renewal that cuts coverage or raises the price are different notices, and states time them differently.
  4. Keep paying the current policy until a new one is bound. A gap can put a mortgage into force-placed insurance, which protects the lender first.
  5. Ask the company, in writing, for the declarations page, the replacement-cost estimate, and which rating factors changed.
  6. If a mortgage company is on the policy, tell them you are replacing coverage before the old policy ends.
  7. Shop admitted insurers. If you cannot find one, use the residual-market note on your state page. A FAIR plan or Citizens policy is often narrower than the policy you had.
  8. Compare deductibles before you accept a lower premium. A percentage hurricane or wind deductible is a share of the dwelling limit, not a flat $1,000.
  9. If the notice looks late or states no real reason, complain to the state insurance department and keep the envelope or the electronic-delivery record.
  10. Ask about a mitigation credit only where the company will put the discount in writing: a new roof, opening protection, or defensible space, depending on the peril.
