Yes. Multiple sources consistently rank home insurance rates in Oklahoma as among the six most expensive, paying almost double the national average for $300,000 in dwelling coverage, according to a 2025 Bankrate report. Comparing the percentage of household income spent on homeowner s insurance, Oklahoma’s 6.84% is significantly higher than both the averages of its neighboring states and the national average of 2.41%. Despite Oklahoma Insurance Department Commissioner Glen Mulready’s claim that the state’s frequent hailstorms explain higher rates, an Oklahoma Watch investigation found the frequency of such weather events was not significantly different in neighboring states.
