Using Census data and the American Community Survey, we find that Georgia has a low percentage of homeowners who carry homeowner’s insurance.

Analyzing the penetration of homeowners insurance at the Congressional District level reveals that South Georgia has the greatest potential.

Overlaying demographic and consumer behavior characteristics reveals areas with the greatest purchase propensity.

An additional overlay of competition, using multiple data sources, reveals areas with low-or-no competitive penetration.
