Despite high risks such as wildfires, California maintains some of the lowest home insurance premiums in the US, averaging $2,080 annually. This imbalance has prompted insurers to withdraw from high-risk sectors, highlighting the unsustainable nature of the current pricing structure. Consequently, many Californians are losing access to home insurance amid rising commodity costs and insurance deficits. The stark contrast between risk and premiums needs reevaluation, as it exemplifies the detrimental effects of artificially maintained low prices in high-risk markets.
