Why this pick
Florida home insurance ($2,385/yr NAIC 2023) is high but isn’t the most expensive — Oklahoma’s $2,810/yr beats it. Florida’s distinguishing feature is volatility: 7 carriers became insolvent in 2022-2023, and Citizens (the state-run insurer of last resort) ballooned to over 1.4 million policies before reforms cooled the market.
