USAA sells homeowners insurance to veterans, active military members and their families. If that description fits you, you may want to consider a USAA policy. That’s because the company’s homeowners insurance has certain features that other insurers may charge extra for.
For example, USAA automatically covers your personal belongings on a replacement cost basis. Many companies pay out only what your items are worth at the time of the claim, which means you may not get much for older items. USAA pays enough for you to buy brand-new replacements for your stuff.

Common risks for Wyoming homeowners
Here are a few of the most common risks you may face as a Wyoming homeowner, along with steps you can take to insure your home against them.
Wildfire
Homeowners insurance generally covers damage caused by fire, but read your policy closely in case you have exclusions. Pay particular attention to the dwelling coverage limit, which is how much the insurance company will pay to rebuild your house. Check with your insurer to make sure you have enough coverage to rebuild if necessary.
Winter weather
Homeowners insurance generally covers winter storm-related damage, but some types of scenarios may require extra coverage. For instance, you’ll typically need separate flood insurance to cover water damage caused by snowmelt.
Hailstorms
Standard home insurance policies usually cover hail damage, but you may have a separate hail deductible. These are often either a flat rate, such as $500, or a percentage of your dwelling coverage limit, often between 1% and 5%. For example, your policy may have a $1,000 deductible for most claims and a 1% deductible for hail or wind claims. So, if your house has $250,000 worth of dwelling coverage, you’d have to pay for the first $2,500 of hail damage yourself.
Flooding
Most home insurance doesn't cover flood damage, so homeowners in at-risk areas may need to buy separate flood insurance. Remember that while you can get this coverage at any time, there’s often a 30-day waiting period before it takes effect.
Not sure if you’re at risk for flooding? You can look up your address on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood maps. However, FEMA’s maps don’t always capture all types of flood risk, so you may also want to check the website of the nonprofit First Street Foundation, which models climate risks. Enter your address in the top left corner to see your home’s flood risk rating on a scale of 1 to 10.
Earthquakes
Standard homeowners insurance policies don't cover structural damage caused by earthquakes. For that, you’d need to buy additional earthquake insurance.
Earthquake insurance often has a separate deductible, which can be between 10% and 20% of your dwelling coverage limit. If you have a 10% deductible on $200,000 of coverage, you’d need to pay $20,000 to repair earthquake damage before your insurance covers anything.

Amanda Shapland contributed to this story.
NerdWallet calculated median rates for 40-year-old homeowners from various insurance companies in every ZIP code across the state. All rates are rounded to the nearest $5.
Sample homeowners were nonsmokers with good credit living in a single-family, two-story home built in 1984. They had a $1,000 deductible and the following coverage limits:
$300,000 in dwelling coverage.
$30,000 in other structures coverage.
$150,000 in personal property coverage.
$60,000 in loss of use coverage.
$300,000 in liability coverage.
$1,000 in medical payments coverage.
We made minor changes to the sample policy in cases where rates for the above coverage limits or deductibles weren’t available.
We changed the credit tier from “good” to “poor,” as reported to the insurer, to see rates for homeowners with poor credit.
These are sample rates generated through Quadrant Information Services. Your own rates will be different.
Star rating methodology
NerdWallet’s homeowners insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints, coverages, discounts and online experience. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews. Read our full homeowners insurance rating methodology.
Complaint methodology
NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2021-2023. To assess how insurers compare with one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period. NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.
