An article released earlier this year began a discussion of several broad demographic changes that continue to drive change within the automotive claims and collision repair industries. Demographics of age and race were explored previously; here we will explore further demographic shifts in terms of where people are choosing to live and how that may be driving auto claim frequency trends.
Where are people living?
Data from the U.S. Department of Transportation shows the U.S. population grew by 12.2%, from 282.2 million residents to 316 million between CY2000 and CY2013.[1] Among the four primary census regions, resident population grew most in the South, followed by the West regions, and much slower growth occurred in the Northeast and Midwest regions.[2]
