# Southern California insurance

Renters, auto, home and pet insurance across the Southern California region of California - everyday coverage plus the specialty markets for wildfire-exposed homes and SR-22 drivers.

Southern California spans dense coastal cities, sprawling suburbs, and fire-prone foothills and canyons. Coverage here ranges from routine urban auto and home policies to high-risk canyon homes hit by Santa Ana wind-driven wildfire, plus significant earthquake exposure across the region.

## Key insurance risks in Southern California

Wildfire in the foothills and canyons, Santa Ana winds, major earthquake faults, and coastal flood and wind near the shore.

## The Southern California region by the numbers

- **$932,245** - Median home value across our the Southern California region city pages

Home values across the Southern California region vary by a factor of more than 9, which matters more than it sounds: a homeowners policy is rated on rebuild cost, and the published California average premium roughly doubles between the lower and upper ends of that spread. Two regional neighbors can sit in genuinely different pricing bands.
