Vermont Statewide Runs Well Below a Separately-Cited National Figure Too
A separate pairing (Insure.com's own Vermont-vs-national comparison) showed Vermont's statewide average (~$1,170) running approximately 53% below its own cited national average (~$2,490) -- a consistent, real, genuine pattern across multiple citations.
Real Winter-Storm and Lakeshore/River Flood Exposure Behind the Cost
Burlington's real, genuine cold winters and winter-storm exposure (see the climate-weather topic page), alongside real lakeshore and Winooski River flood-zone exposure (see the flood-hurricane-risk topic page), plausibly factor into insurance pricing -- though standard homeowners policies typically exclude flood damage, requiring separate NFIP or private flood coverage.
