As you may already know homeowner insurance rates depend on where you live. Where your house is located plays a significant role in the premium cost of your house insurance.

In the Western part of the United States, insurance premiums are extremely varied. The state that has the highest insurance rate is California ($937) ranking number 7 in the nation.
