Why these four states
California, Florida, Texas and New York account for over 65% (76%) of the surplus lines premium reported by the 15 stamping offices tracked here ($68.1B of $90.3B in 2025). All four publish their numbers monthly, giving readers a timely view of a large share of the market before broader annual reports are available. Each tile shows its own reporting period; monthly publication does not necessarily mean a standalone monthly total.

Going deeper

Growth trajectories and the states that update on slower cycles.

Who's still accelerating — and who's cooling

The ledger above, seen from another angle: each state's five-year compound growth rate (2020–2025) against its most recent full-year growth (2024→2025). States where the dark bar falls short of the light one are decelerating.

The Quietly Growing States
Parts of the middle market are out-compounding the big three. Over the past five years, Arizona (21%/yr), Oregon (20%/yr), Nevada (19%/yr) have each grown faster than California, Texas or Florida. Together these faster-growing states write $9.3B — small individually, but they are where 2025 growth was broadest.

Other stamping office states

These 11 states update on midyear or annual cycles, mostly via WSIA's semi-annual reports — see their individual pages for detail.
