Did you know Colorado Insurance is increasing? First things first, let me answer why Colorado Insurance rates are increasing across the industry:

  1.  Increased Population
  2. More Vehicles on our Roads
  3. More Homes In the Hail Prone Areas  
  4. Increased Hail Frequency
  5. Increased Hail Severity of Natural Disasters such as tornadoes, wind and hail storms

The impact may differ by customer based on their individual policy characteristics. Data shows, Colorado wind and hail losses are reaching record levels. The National Centers for Environmental Information reports that Colorado weather and climate billion-dollar disasters have increased by over 100% from 11 between the years of 1998 and 2008 to 23 in 2009 through 2018. Here are some other factors in the increased insurance rates:

  • Colorado roofing wages are up 30% over the past five years.
  • The population shift to new geographies is contributing to new and increasing risk exposures.
  • Between 2000 and 2016, there has been a 29% increase in the number of housing units in Colorado.  In areas prone to hail, the population is growing.
