In a recent article posted by InsuranceAgents.com, “Your Neighborhood Could Cost (Or Save!) You A Bundle,” they describe some of the characteristics that neighborhoods could have and how they can affect your homeowners insurance rates. “The denser the population is in your neighborhood, the less affordable homeowners insurance rates may be. Why? Because there is a correlation between highly dense populations and crime rates,” states the article, “Also, the more people there are packed into an area, the more homes need to be built, making for some tight (and dangerous) quarters. What if a neighbor’s home catches on fire? It can easily spread and damage your home as well.” Insurance providers take each detail of your neighborhood into account before determining how much of a risk your home may be.

If  you are shopping around for homeowners insurance quotes, take into account the affects your neighborhood could have on the quotes you receive and talk to an insurance agent about how you can save as much money as possible on your premium.
