State damage ranking

States with the Most Hail Damage (2020-2025)

This ranking compares reported hail damage across states using NOAA Storm Events property and crop loss values from 2020 through 2025. It pairs a state chart with exact totals, shares of the six-year total, and notes on how to interpret the numbers.

Total reported damage

$4.43 billion Property and crop damage combined across the six-year hail ranking set.

Top state

Texas $3.21 billion, or 72.46% of the total shown on this page.

Second-ranked state

Nebraska $643.94 million, well ahead of the rest of the field outside Texas.

Key statistics

How the six-year damage picture stacks up

These figures summarize the strongest state-level patterns in the ranking.

Six-year total

$4.43B

Reported property and crop damage summed across hail event rows.

Texas share

72.46%

Texas accounts for nearly three-quarters of the total shown on this page.

Nebraska total

$643.94M

Nebraska is the only other state above half a billion dollars in this set.

Interpretation note

Reported event losses

These totals are based on NOAA event-row reporting and are not finalized insured-loss figures.

What the ranking shows

Texas stands apart from every other state in this six-year damage set. Nebraska is a distant second, and the remaining states trail far behind both.

How to read the totals

  • Values are reported event-row losses, not insured-loss estimates.
  • Some events carry fuller damage reporting than others.
  • The chart is most useful for relative state comparison.

Methodology

How to interpret reported hail damage

Damage reporting varies by event, so the best use of this page is state-to-state comparison rather than precise loss accounting.

Reported losses

Totals come from NOAA event rows and combine property and crop damage where values are present.

Coverage differences

Some states and events carry fuller damage reporting than others, which can amplify or understate individual entries.

Best use

Use the ranking to compare relative concentration of reported hail damage across states, then pair it with local event details or insurer data where needed.
