Previously, we examined AdvisorSmith's list of the most profitable states for P&C insurance companies, but now we'll take a look at the other side of the coin. According to AdvisorSmith, while the top ten least profitable states vary in size, larger states tend to have more competitive insurance markets, which can drive pricing (and, in turn, profitability) down. The small states who made this list are often less profitable because of higher loss ratios. The slideshow above explores the ten states where the P&C industry struggles most to turn a profit. You can view AdvisorSmith's full analysis of both the most and least profitable states here.
