What homeowners here pay

Each block pairs a short explanation with the data behind it.

Homeowners insurance

U.S. Treasury FIO, HO-3/HO-5 policies, 2018–2022

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 Florida and U.S. figures on this page still give a useful reference point.

FEMA National Risk Index, December 2025

Practical next steps

Simple things Madison homeowners can do with this information.

Check your flood zone. Look up your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov). Standard home policies don't cover flood damage, and flood insurance usually has a 30-day waiting period, so it's worth sorting out before storm season.
Ask about a wind mitigation inspection. Florida insurers must offer discounts for wind-resistant features such as roof-to-wall straps, a secondary water barrier and opening protection. A licensed inspector's form documents what your home has.
Compare at renewal. Premiums vary widely by ZIP code, home and insurer. Use these averages as a reference point, not a price, and compare a few quotes at renewal.
Keep records. A roof certificate, receipts for upgrades and photos of your home's condition can help when you shop for coverage or file a claim.

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. Treasury's data covers a smaller share of Florida's market than of other states and leaves out Citizens Property Insurance and other residual-market policies, so Florida figures are less representative.
