What this benchmark can and cannot tell you

This page summarizes publicly released ZIP rows to provide a consistent geographic comparison. It can show how the available Massachusettsrows compare with the same national dataset, but it cannot estimate a household's current price or prove why a carrier renewed or declined a policy.

  • The premium, loss-ratio, and nonrenewal point estimates are 2022 FIO public ZIP benchmarks; only the change metric spans 2018–2022.
  • The averages give each published ZIP row equal weight. They are not official policy-weighted statewide averages.
  • ZIP rows are present only where the public FIO release met disclosure thresholds.
  • The FIO public metrics exclude flood insurance, residual market plans, excess and surplus lines, and reinsurance.
  • The release covers 2018-2022 and does not include 2023 or 2024 market changes.
