Insurance Scores: What They Are and How They Affect Coverage Rates

A NJ Insurance Policyholder’s Directory

You’ve heard the ‘insurance score’ term before. You may not be sure what it means and what it has to do with your insurance rate. Follow PRIME Insurance as we give you a concise explanation about the concept.

A Tale of Two Homes


John and Bob are two homeowners living side by side in Hoboken, NJ.  Both men’s homes have the same square footage, with similar layouts and almost identical looking exteriors.

John really never gave his $1,300 NJ homeowner insurance premium a second thought until he heard a casual comment about Bob’s homeowner premium. Bob was paying a rate of $700, which meant John was paying $600 more on a homeowner policy for an identical home!

Why the clear price discrepancy from the same insurance agency?

PRIME Insurance Clarifies

Though John thinks his home is identical to Bob’s, there may be underlying personal insurance scores leading to the insurance company’s rate determination. These include:

  1. A tenant living within the home
  2. A history of Insurance claims filed for home damage
  3. Personal credit score rankings


Just as every homeowner is unique, so are his or her coverage requirements and premium amount.
