Last year, we sent over 8,000 signatures, signed by many of you, to the Treasury’s Federal Insurance Office demanding that they release long-hidden insurance data. We pushed until they finally released the data in mid- January 2025. Thanks to your advocacy we now have the data and a groundbreaking new tool to prove the extent of the property insurance crisis. Our friends at Revolving Door Project and Public Citizen used this newly released data to build a powerful, interactive map that shows insurance nonrenewals, cancellations, and rate hikes. It also includes claim frequency, claim severity, and premium increases, letting policymakers and advocates alike see that the insurance crisis isn’t isolated to one state or region: it’s widespread.. But the map also reveals something just as important: the data we’re missing. Climate-vulnerable states—Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, and Texas—refused to participate or only submitted partial data. Why? Because their state insurance commissioners decided to keep this data hidden to protect the insurance industry. They chose to hide the truth. That’s where you come in. We fought to make this data public, and we won. Now, we need to continue to hold state insurance commissioners accountable for this growing crisis. Explore the new map to see how the insurance crisis is impacting homeowners and where states are refusing to provide the data the public needs.
And it’s not just happening on the coasts. The data shows that cancellations and nonrenewals are rising nationwide. The costs of climate change are being offloaded onto individual homeowners at the same time insurance companies are investing policyholders’ premiums into stocks, bonds, and more to walk away with record profits. The FIO’s release of this data is a critical first step toward transparency. But we need the full picture, and that means continuing to call on states that didn’t release all their data to be transparent to their constituents, and to update this data annually as the crisis unfolds. With your help, we’ll keep building the pressure needed to expose what’s really going on in the insurance industry. Take two minutes to explore the new mapping tool now. Thanks for being part of this fight, Moonyoung. Moonyoung Ko (she/her)
