Homeowners insurance
Treasury published no ZIP-level homeowners figures for this area. It only released ZIP codes with at least 10 reporting insurers and 50 policies, so smaller and rural areas are often missing. The Virginia and U.S. figures on this page still give a useful reference point.
Typical premium per policy
Flood insurance
Standard home policies don't cover floods. The average single-family NFIP policy that took effect here in 2025 cost $1,045, compared with $953 in 2022. About 64% of local policies are for homes in high-risk A or V zones and 36% in moderate- to lower-risk zones.

Simple things Staunton homeowners can do with this information.
Historical averages, not a quote. Homeowners figures are inflation-adjusted averages from the U.S. Treasury Federal Insurance Office "Supporting Underlying Metrics" (2018–2022, published January 2025). They cover HO-3/HO-5 policies from participating private insurers and exclude state residual-market plans (such as FAIR plans and Citizens), surplus-lines and flood coverage. Treasury notes that individual ZIP codes can contain data anomalies. Your price depends on your home, coverage and insurer.
