Share of paid losses by cause, 2019–2025Shares are summed across the full 2019–2025 window, not a single year, so one severe season cannot make a county’s peril mix look permanent when it was not. The largest cause in Travis County over that window was wind.

Source: Texas Department of Insurance, “Texas homeowners losses by county”, drawn from the Texas Statistical Plan for Residential Risks, 2019–2025. Excludes renters, condo and dwelling policies, and excludes all wind and hail written by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association in its 14 coastal counties.
This page exists because Travis County averaged at least 5,000 policies in force over the window — enough for a seven-year ratio to mean something. TDI publishes county rows down to a handful of policies and divides by them anyway; below that floor a single large claim can swing the figure by an order of magnitude, so those counties are not given a page.
This is loss severity, not carrier behavior — there is no carrier column in this dataset. For which insurers draw the most confirmed complaints, and what those complaints were about, see the complaint index methodology.
