Why this pick

California’s auto rates ($1,816/yr NAIC 2023) are middle-of-pack despite urban density and litigation costs, because Prop 103 caps how fast carriers can re-rate. Home insurance is the opposite story: the carrier exodus that started after the 2017 wildfire season has reshaped which carriers will write in which ZIPs.
