decisions about the risk of large areas based on real life insured outcomes. For example, American Family a few years back completely stopped funding HOI in Florida and California, focusing their marketing efforts on states with fewer catastrophic events like wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Policies increase for many reasons...in your friend's example, it could be a reaction to competitors' policy increases, who have to make up for losses in Hurricane Sandy. Sometimes companies are aggressive in certain areas, other times it is not feasible to lower prices. it's math, not Poli Sci...what else can we help you with?

If a storm hits a certain area, causing damage to many - Sleepy MU - 7/22 11:21:18
     Yes, it is capitalistic - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/22 11:40:02
          Not only is your response almost totally - Sleepy MU - 7/22 11:58:18
               Your logic is flawed. Just because YOUR insurance went up - JeffB MU - 7/22 12:09:38
               "It also focuses solely on the individual" - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/22 12:04:38
                    This is irrelevant to the point made in the OP. - Sleepy MU - 7/22 12:24:48
                         Only because his info doesn't meet your agenda.(nm) - tiger98 MU - 7/22 12:35:52
                         You just aren't capable of understanding the answer - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/22 12:30:47
     It doesn't necessarily go up 'in that area' if you mean - JeffB MU - 7/22 11:30:38
     What evidence do you have that insurance goes up... - Salty Dog MU - 7/22 11:30:34
          Yeah. We had hail damage in this area and home owner - Sleepy MU - 7/22 11:53:16
               I've didn't see that happen in one instance of hail - MIZ45 MU - 7/22 12:26:34
                    The same with us. We had a $40,000+ hail claim one year - JeffB MU - 7/22 12:51:43
               Rates are always changing. That is a function of business - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/22 11:58:53
                    My friends example? There was no example of a friend? And - Sleepy MU - 7/22 12:10:26
                         Insurance is inherently a group collectively paying for loss - JeffB MU - 7/22 12:35:59
                         IF you think I'm making your point, you are more confused - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/22 12:21:12
                              All of that is common sense. Home owners insurance is - Sleepy MU - 7/22 12:29:23
                                   If by 'the collective' you mean that if the number of claims - JeffB MU - 7/22 12:54:45
               and the increase only happened in your area, but nowhere - JeffB MU - 7/22 11:57:48
