What Affects Rates in Evansville
- Eight tornadoes touched down in Vanderburgh County in five years, including EF-2 events on April 2, 2024, that stripped shingles and removed roof sections on Nisbet Road and along the Boonville New Harmony Road corridor.
- Thirty-three thunderstorm wind events struck the county, creating repetitive uplift stress on aging roofing systems and accelerating shingle deterioration across neighborhoods built in the 1960s and 1970s.
- Vanderburgh County's median home build year is 1969, meaning most residential roofs are on their second or third replacement cycle and more vulnerable to storm damage than newer construction.
- Tornado and severe thunderstorm activity peaks in March and April, aligning with spring storm systems moving through the lower Ohio River Valley and creating high contractor demand during these months.
