Indiana was slightly more risky with a 50.74 and Tennessee was slightly safer with a 46.48.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data like this is used to build homeowners insurance rates, along with a slew of information, such as crime and replacement cost values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did find it odd that Alaska and Hawaii were not included, due to &#8220;limited natural hazard risk data.&#8221; I would expect both to be a much higher risk than average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top 10 states most at risk for natural disasters are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1    Florida          94.51\n2    Rhode Island     79.67\n3    Louisiana        79.23\n4    California       75.56\n5    Massachusetts    72.12\n6    Kansas           69.51\n7    Connecticut      69.04\n8    Oklahoma         66.82\n9    South Carolina   66.38\n10   Delaware         65.38\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>So it appears that according to this report, Louisville is fairly safe. That should make us all sleep better at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about how rates are determined, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/personal-finance\/072314\/how-are-home-insurance-rates-determined.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Are Home Insurance Rates Determined?<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to live somewhere safe?
