Between 2018 and 2022, average premiums rose by 21.4% in Colorado, placing the state 2nd nationally on five-year premium growth. The state-level loss ratio averaged 50.9%, meaning insurers retained a healthy margin after claims, typical of stable markets.

Within Colorado, premium dispersion across ZIP codes is substantial: the most expensive ZIP (81611 in Aspen) charges 1122% more than the least expensive (81501 in Grand Junction), 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.
Colorado statewide — FIO 2018-2022 average: 51% (Insurer-favorable) — low claim payout — insurer retains a healthy margin.
