Louisiana Homeowners Insurance

Reviewed byPlaininsure Editorial, Homeowners Insurance Transparency Editorial Team · June 4, 2026

U.S. Treasury FIO data for 337 ZIP codes in Louisiana (LA).

Homeowners in Louisiana pay an average of $2,539 per year for home insurance — 43% above the national average of $1,776. That ranks Louisiana as the 4th most expensive state out of 51 for homeowners insurance. Between 2018 and 2022, premiums rose by 5.6%; loss ratios above 100% indicate insurers paid more in claims than they collected — a leading indicator of future rate increases; nonrenewal rates climbed by 209.0% over the same period.

On five-year premium growth (2018–2022), Louisiana ranks 25th out of 51 states. Its nonrenewal rate (1.98%) ranks 5th out of 50 — nonrenewal is an early warning indicator of insurer retreat, often tied to disaster risk.

Data Snapshot: Louisiana Homeowners Insurance

Louisiana homeowners paid an average of $2,539 per year for home insurance based on U.S. Treasury FIO data covering 337 ZIP codes across the state. That is 43% above the national average of $1,776 per year reported by the Federal Insurance Office. Louisiana ranks 4th most expensive out of 51 states and territories on annual premium, with ZIP-level observations ranging from $1,559 in 71108 to $8,306 in 70130.

Between 2018 and 2022, average premiums rose by 5.6% in Louisiana, placing the state 25th nationally on five-year premium growth. The state-level loss ratio averaged 104.0%, meaning insurers paid out more in claims than they collected in premiums, a leading indicator of future rate increases. Nonrenewal rates — the share of policies insurers decline to extend at expiration — averaged 1.98%, a climb of 209.0% over the study period (ranking 5th out of 50 states).

Within Louisiana, premium dispersion across ZIP codes is substantial: the most expensive ZIP (70130 in New Orleans) charges 433% more than the least expensive (71108 in Shreveport), reflecting local differences in catastrophe exposure, construction costs, and claims history. The FIO dataset aggregates voluntary reporting from the 40 largest homeowners insurers covering roughly 80% of the U.S. market, so ZIP-level figures represent market averages rather than individual quotes; actual premiums vary with dwelling value, deductible, coverage limits, and insurer-specific underwriting. This page is for educational research only and is not insurance advice — homeowners should obtain quotes from multiple licensed carriers or an independent agent before purchasing or renewing coverage.

Loss Ratio Reading: Louisiana

Louisiana statewide — FIO 2018-2022 average: 104% (Underwriting loss) — paid out more than collected — rate increases virtually guaranteed.
