What is a typical home insurance cost in Texas?
Our current modeled benchmark is $3,506 per year, with a broad modeled range of $2,945 to $4,137. This is not a published state average or insurer quote; it is a comparative model anchored to NAIC's 2024 Southeast regional premium average and adjusted using local housing and recent severe-weather data. Separately, the latest TDI published statewide homeowners average is $3,506; it is shown as observed regulator data, not substituted into every local estimate.
Cost by home value in Texas
These are model scenarios, not carrier quotes. Home value changes the benchmark sublinearly because insurance coverage and pricing do not move one-for-one with market value.

|---|---|---|---|
| $200,000 | $2,381 | $2,834 | $3,345 |
| $300,000 | $2,777 | $3,307 | $3,902 |
| $400,000 | $3,098 | $3,688 | $4,352 |
| $500,000 | $3,373 | $4,015 | $4,738 |

What the number means
The modeled benchmark combines a published NAIC regional homeowners premium anchor with Census housing values and NOAA severe-weather frequency. It is designed to answer comparative research questions consistently while avoiding the false precision of calling a modeled ZIP or city figure an observed insurance premium.
