Insurance in Zurich: the local picture
Folks living in Zurich know we're right in the heart of 'Tornado Alley,' and that means our homes, especially the older ones built between 1910 and 1972 (some even older than that!), are constantly at risk from severe thunderstorms, high winds, and hail. Standard homeowners policies are a must, but it's crucial to review your coverage for adequate replacement cost, especially for roofs. With our older housing stock, meeting current building codes after damage can significantly increase repair costs, so making sure you have extended replacement cost or ordinance and law coverage is key to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses when a storm hits.
Population: 96 (2020)
