Consumer Federation Report: Black and Hispanic Homeowners Pay 16-30% Higher Insurance Premiums

Insurance industry spokesman disputes racial bias, cites legal prohibitions and risk factors

Mark Friedlander of the Insurance Information Institute stated that premiums are based on risk and not race or ethnicity, that the rating system is actuarially grounded and heavily regulated, and that using race or proxies for race to set rates is illegal. He attributed disparities to objectively higher catastrophe exposure or rebuild costs in some communities.

“Using race, or any proxy for race, to set insurance rates is illegal in every US jurisdiction, and state insurance regulators review and approve the rating factors insurers use precisely to guard against that.”
