Increasing risks due to climate-driven wildfires and a lack of adequate insurance rates have resulted in fewer coverage options available to consumers in the voluntary market. As more insurers have declined to provide new coverage or renew existing policies, more Californians have turned to the FAIR Plan for the basic property coverage they need.

 

The FAIR Plan updates the following information on a quarterly basis. Statistics and data represent the latest available information through June 2024. Please note June 2024 totals do not reflect the entire fiscal year, which covers October through September.
