FAQ

Why Neutral?

While improved safety records may appeal to consumers, it doesn't directly influence Allstate's stock value now, comparable to previous reports where broader trends didn’t significantly affect stock performance.

How important is it?

The report potentially enhances brand perception due to safety emphasis, but lacks an immediate monetary or structural effect on AL's value.

Why No Impact?

The report’s findings reflect existing trends rather than forecast new risk management strategies or initiatives, showing a resemblance to past publications without immediate operational changes or strategic shifts.

First launched in 2005, this year's Allstate America's Best Drivers Report revisits collision data published a decade ago to reveal surprising shifts in driving safety across the country, just as Americans prepare for another busy summer on the roads. "No matter where you drive, the best way to protect yourself and others is simple: buckle up, stay focused and slow down," said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims at Allstate. "These are three of the most effective ways to prevent crashes, and they cost nothing but attention." Driving by the numbers: What the data revealsEast Coast or West Coast: Which is riskier? Seven of the 10 cities with the highest collision rates are located in the Northeast, including Boston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia. But don't count out the West Coast: Los Angeles, Glendale and Oakland, California, round out the 10 riskiest cities for drivers. Everything's bigger – and safer – in Texas Brownsville, Texas, is the safest driving city in America, with Laredo, McAllen and Corpus Christi also landing in the top 20. Across the state, 21 cities, including major metros such as Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and Dallas, have climbed the ranks over the past decade.  The Pacific Northwest gets a glow-up Drivers in Washington, Oregon and Alaska are safer behind the wheel than they were a decade ago, with some of the largest reductions in collisions nationwide. Bellevue, Washington, leads the way, climbing 133 spots since 2015 to earn the title of most improved city. Other Northwest cities making significant strides include Anchorage, Alaska, and Portland, Oregon. Midwest "nice" hits a speed bump Several Midwestern cities have experienced significant declines in safe driving since 2015. St. Louis saw the steepest drop, falling 90 spots to No. 175. Des Moines, Iowa, dropped 89 places to No. 108, and Kansas City, Missouri, slid 84 spots to No. 101.   Other cities following this downward trend include Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Minneapolis; Cleveland; Omaha, Nebraska; and Indianapolis. Collision rates climb in America's riskiest cities While the average city has seen a modest decline in collisions since 2015, the gap between the safest and riskiest cities is widening. Several cities among the 50 most collision-prone cities have seen more than a 25% increase in crash rates since 2015, underscoring a growing divide in road safety.

auto claims data to determine the likelihood drivers in America's 200 most populous cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average. According to Allstate claims data, the average driver in the U.S will experience a collision once every 10.56 years. This year, Allstate researchers analyzed property and collision damage claims reported during the two-year period of January 2022 to December 2023. The report defines a collision as any auto crash resulting in a property or collision damage claim and uses U.S. Census Bureau data to determine America's 200 largest cities. Allstate's auto policies represent approximately 10% of all U.S. auto policies, making this report a realistic snapshot of what is happening on America's roadways. The Allstate America's Best Drivers Report is produced solely to boost the country's discussion about safe driving and to increase awareness of the importance of being safe and attentive behind the wheel. The report is not used to determine auto insurance rates.About AllstateThe Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) protects people from life's uncertainties with a wide array of protection for autos, homes, electronic devices, and identities.
