South Dakota Home InsuranceHome insurance in South Dakota
South Dakota recorded 3,606 damaging hail events in the last 10 years, and they did not fall evenly. Where you live in the state changes the answer — start with your city.
Start with your city
Hail, flood discounts and the age of the housing all change from one part of South Dakota to the next, and those are what move a premium. Each of these covers one city in detail:
| City | County hail, 10 yrs | Flood discount | Typical home built |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sioux Falls | 71 | Class 6, 20% off | 1992 |
Hail: NOAA Storm Events, events of one inch or larger in the city's county. Flood discount: FEMA Community Rating System. Housing: Census ACS.
South Dakota's housing
The typical South Dakota home was built in 1979, and the median owner-occupied home is valued at $236,800. 68.6% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
7.6% of South Dakota homes are manufactured or mobile. Those are insured on a different form (HO-7), not the standard homeowners policy, and the difference matters at claim time.
