2021 Irish study by CeADAR and Idiro Analytics finds car insurance quotes in deprived, ethnically diverse areas are higher.

A new study reveals that living in a deprived or more ethnically diverse location in Ireland increases the likelihood of receiving a higher car insurance quote. The research, conducted by CeADAR and Idiro Analytics, analyzed 40,000 car insurance quotes from 10 companies across 20 locations. The findings show that factors such as driving experience and policy length are influenced by a driver's home address, leading to extreme cases where younger drivers in affluent areas receive lower quotes than older drivers in poorer locations. Additionally, the extent to which premiums increase due to penalty points varies depending on the driver's location.
