Damage concentration

Where 2025 losses were highest

Reported losses are directional and should be read as NOAA event-row values rather than settled insurance totals.

Top states by reported damage

  • New York - $20.05M
  • North Dakota - $13.14M
  • Nebraska - $7.03M
  • Texas - $5.71M

Top months by reported damage

  • July - $24.87M
  • June - $16.07M
  • May - $13.28M
  • March - $2.66M
  • August - $1.61M

Interpretation note

Damage totals can be uneven because not every hail event row carries the same level of loss reporting detail. Use these numbers as directional context alongside the monthly and state hail counts.
