A house in Savannah and a house in Marietta are priced by completely different risks. Coastal wind deductibles, north Georgia hail, and the lightning exposure nobody mentions.
New Jersey premiums are moderate for the Northeast and the coverage gap is severe. Most of the state's flood exposure sits outside the mapped high-risk zones, where nobody is required to buy.
