The New York Times has created a map visualizing the rates at which home insurance companies have refused to renew policies in each U.S. county, using the most recent data from the U.S. Senate Budget Committee. As climate change has been exacerbating disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and landslides, insurers have been pulling out of markets across the country. According to the map, the increase in nonrenewal rates has spread beyond California and Florida—which are traditionally higher-risk areas due to natural disasters—to Alabama, Mississippi, and the Carolinas.
