Yes, you should seriously consider it in Thibodaux. Some neighborhoods here flood at least four times per year from regular storms, not just hurricanes. FEMA flood maps don't always capture localized drainage issues or the increased flooding frequency we're seeing with climate change. Flood insurance costs less outside high-risk zones, and it has a 30-day waiting period, so you can't buy it when you see a storm coming.
Louisiana's coastal location makes it extremely vulnerable to hurricanes, which cause billions in claims. Repeated devastating hurricane seasons have driven some insurance companies out of the state entirely, reducing competition. With fewer insurers willing to take on the risk, the remaining companies charge more to cover potential losses. Louisiana's average premium of $5,256 is more than double the national average.
A hurricane deductible is a special, higher deductible that applies when damage is caused by a named tropical storm or hurricane. In Louisiana, these typically range from 2-5% of your home's insured value. For a $200,000 home with a 5% hurricane deductible, you'd pay $10,000 out of pocket before insurance covers anything. This is separate from your regular deductible for other types of damage.
No, this is a critical distinction. Standard homeowners insurance covers wind damage from hurricanes—like your roof being torn off or windows breaking. But it does not cover flooding, even if that flood is caused by a hurricane. You need separate flood insurance for water damage, whether from storm surge, heavy rain, or rising rivers.
Several strategies can help: upgrade to an impact-resistant roof, which many insurers reward with discounts; install hurricane shutters or a security system; bundle your home and auto insurance; and shop around annually since rates vary dramatically between companies. Some insurers have recently decreased rates while others increased them, so loyalty doesn't always pay. Also, maintaining a good credit score and increasing your deductible can lower premiums.
Yes, environmental risks are affecting the housing market. Thibodaux home prices dropped 28.1% year-over-year in 2025, selling for a median of $146,000. While multiple factors influence home prices, the combination of high insurance costs, frequent flooding, and hurricane risk makes buyers more cautious. However, homes are selling faster than before—77 days on market compared to 111 days previously—suggesting there's still demand at the right price point.
