Homeowners in Oregon pay an average of $1,199 per year for home insurance - 32% below the national average of $1,776. That ranks Oregon as the 48th most expensive state out of 51 for homeowners insurance. Between 2018 and 2022, premiums rose by 13.9%; loss ratios near 100% suggest insurers are operating on thin margins in this state.
On five-year premium growth (2018–2022), Oregon ranks 7th out of 51 states. Its nonrenewal rate (0.88%) ranks 35th out of 50 - nonrenewal is an early warning indicator of insurer retreat, often tied to disaster risk.
According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Insurance Office - "Analyses of U.S. Homeowners Insurance Markets, 2018–2022." Premium values are five-year averages across all ZIP-level observations. See methodology for how the state rank and comparison are calculated.
Oregon homeowners paid an average of $1,199 per year for home insurance based on U.S. Treasury FIO data covering 339 ZIP codes across the state. That is 32% below the national average of $1,776 per year reported by the Federal Insurance Office. Oregon ranks 48th most expensive out of 51 states and territories on annual premium, with ZIP-level observations ranging from $859 in 97496 to $2,808 in 97201.
Between 2018 and 2022, average premiums rose by 13.9% in Oregon, placing the state 7th nationally on five-year premium growth. The state-level loss ratio averaged 87.4%, meaning insurers are operating on thin margins, which can precede rate filings. Nonrenewal rates, the share of policies insurers decline to extend at expiration, averaged 0.88%, a climb of 4.8% over the study period (ranking 35th out of 50 states).
Within Oregon, premium dispersion across ZIP codes is substantial: the most expensive ZIP (97201 in Portland) charges 227% more than the least expensive (97496 in Winston), 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.
How to read these figures: state averages on this page are computed from U.S. Treasury Federal Insurance Office data, which the office collects directly from the largest homeowners insurers and reports at the ZIP-code level. A statewide average blends expensive coastal and wildfire-exposed markets with lower-cost inland areas, so the figure is a useful benchmark but will understate what some residents pay and overstate what others pay. The loss ratio is the share of every premium dollar that insurers returned as claims; sustained ratios near or above one signal a market under pressure, where rate increases, tighter underwriting, or nonrenewals tend to follow. Claim frequency and nonrenewal rates show how often policies result in claims and how often insurers decline to renew, both of which track local catastrophe exposure. Treat the state number as context, then drill into your own ZIP code for the figure closest to your situation and compare quotes from several licensed carriers before deciding.
Oregon statewide - FIO 2018-2022 average: 87% (Consumer-favorable) - near break-even, premium pressure likely in next renewal cycle.
