  • Theft: 171 vehicle thefts per 100,000 residents (U.S. 197).
  • Weather: FEMA rates Connecticut's expected annual losses as very low for hail, relatively low for tornado, relatively moderate for hurricane, relatively moderate for inland (river) flooding, relatively low for strong wind — hail, wind and flood claims fall under comprehensive.

How we estimate this

We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
