A new report on Car Insurance is raising eyebrows. Yes, 7 on your side Michael Finney partnered with Consumer Reports. This is about the good drivers possibly paying more money . Absolutely. Weve been talking about this for years and years and years. Car insurance premiums should be color blind of course, but a new investigation by Consumer Reports and pro publica reveals some drivers in minority areas are paying significantly more than can be explained by the riff. What is troubletion, the exclusive Analysis Finds the practice could be happening across the country. Otis nashe has lived in the mostly minority chicago neighborhood of east gar field park for his entire life. I feel like its pretty much anywhere else. You get traffic in the morning but thats because you have people going to school and going to work. He is rated a good driver and pays almost 200 a month for his geico Auto Insurance policy. Christopher day who is also rated a good driver and lives 14 miles away in the mostly white chicago neighborhood of andersonville pays around 115 a month for a geico policy with more coverage for liability but less for comprehensive and collision. Its a disparity Consumer Reports and pro public a solve time and again. We looked at 34 different insurers in illinois and 33 of them had on average a difference between minority and nonminute orlt neighborhoods of 10 . Price disparity based on zip codes is not just happening in illinois. Three other states, missouri, texas and california also provided data used in the investigation. I think we could say based on the four states that it certainly raises questions about what is going on nationally. Take california. He live in the affluent predominantly africanamerican neighborhood in los angeles. The investigation found that a safe driver in view park pays 13 more on average than one who lives in a white neighborhood of comparable risk. Learning that our community might be targeted for higher insurance rates than the risk is a reason for people to be angry. The California Department of insurance criticized Consumer Reports and pro publicas approach. Liberty mutual Parent Company of safeco said it is committed to competitively priced Car Insurance oms options. They called the methodology incomplete and says it does not tolerate discrimination. Geico did not comment. Meanwhile, otis nashe says he hopes rates become fair, but for now geico is among the cheaper Insurance Companies he could find in chicago. The purnell cox shopped around and found a 400 savings with a different insurer. Car insurance rates can vary widely state by state, company by company, even neighborhood by neighborhood.
