Salem, Or Insurance Overview
About the City
Salem is the state capital of Oregon. With roughly 140,000 people it is one of the largest cities in Oregon.
Things to Consider
Salem is within an hour of Portland. Portland has a large tech influence, but Salem is more of a governmental and agricultural city, so housing is more affordable in Salem. Homeowners insurance rates factor in the cost of the house, so a cheaper housing market will lead to lower homeowners insurance rates.
Due partially to the relatively poorer economy in Salem in 2004 their automotive burglary rates were almost double the national average. That high automotive theft rate may influence your car insurance premiums.
