New Jersey Homeowners Insurance

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

U.S. Treasury FIO data for 561 ZIP codes in New Jersey (NJ).

Homeowners in New Jersey pay an average of $1,858 per year for home insurance — 5% above the national average of $1,776. That ranks New Jersey as the 22nd most expensive state out of 51 for homeowners insurance. Between 2018 and 2022, premiums rose by 1.8%; nonrenewal rates climbed by 48.4% over the same period.

On five-year premium growth (2018–2022), New Jersey ranks 42nd out of 51 states. Its nonrenewal rate (0.85%) ranks 38th out of 50 — nonrenewal is an early warning indicator of insurer retreat, often tied to disaster risk.

Data Snapshot: New Jersey Homeowners Insurance

New Jersey homeowners paid an average of $1,858 per year for home insurance based on U.S. Treasury FIO data covering 561 ZIP codes across the state. That is 5% above the national average of $1,776 per year reported by the Federal Insurance Office. New Jersey ranks 22nd most expensive out of 51 states and territories on annual premium, with ZIP-level observations ranging from $1,124 in 07034 to $8,535 in 07723.

Between 2018 and 2022, average premiums rose by 1.8% in New Jersey, placing the state 42nd nationally on five-year premium growth. The state-level loss ratio averaged 41.4%, meaning insurers retained a healthy margin after claims, typical of stable markets. Nonrenewal rates — the share of policies insurers decline to extend at expiration — averaged 0.85%, a climb of 48.4% over the study period (ranking 38th out of 50 states).

Within New Jersey, premium dispersion across ZIP codes is substantial: the most expensive ZIP (07723 in Deal) charges 659% more than the least expensive (07034 in Lake Hiawatha), 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.
