Kin, the direct-to-consumer home insurance company, has announced its expansion into Arizona.

The Grand Canyon State marks Kin’s first move into the Southwest, and it builds upon Kin’s growth and success in coastal states like Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alabama, according to a press release.

Arizona is experiencing rapid population growth and surging property values, but its extreme heat is also dialing up the frequency and severity of natural hazards like wildfires. And it’s not just temperatures playing a role – Arizona’s nearly decades-long drought is exacerbating the problem and putting more homes at risk.

“Climate change is increasing the number of dry days we see in the desert, and it’s creating a pressing need for improved home insurance options for the state’s longer wildfire seasons,” Sean Harper, CEO of Kin, said in the press release. “Every home is different and carries its own risk, so the cost of Arizona home insurance can vary greatly. That’s why we look at granular insurance data, like the home’s location, age, and construction type, to assess its actual risk, rather than the general risk for the area, and provide comprehensive coverage with accurate prices.”
