Evidence lead: 2023 cost position
Nevada's strongest visible signal here is its gap to the national average expenditure. The cards below separate that level gap from change, annual shape, component mix, and registry coverage - descriptive only, not a quote.
2023 cost position
Nevada's $1,461.47 average expenditure ranks #10 of 51. This is the dataset's highest-cost tier. The comparison uses average expenditure—the blended amount paid across purchased coverages—not an individual quote or the unweighted sum of the component premiums.
Five-year movement
Nevada's +13.1% change ranks #42 of 51, placing it in the slowest-moving end of the 2019–2023 distribution. That result is an endpoint comparison, not evidence that every intervening year was flat. Annual direction and the latest one-year move are reported separately.
Coverage-component signature
Nevada's most distinctive 2023 component is liability: $1,040.00, or 56.1% above the 51-jurisdiction average of $666.04. This compares like-for-like component averages across jurisdictions. It does not treat liability, collision, and comprehensive as additive parts of average expenditure.
Year-by-year shape
Nevada fell -3.6% into 2020 and has climbed back since, but only part of the way: the 2023 average is above 2019 by a modest margin rather than the double-digit gain most states in this release recorded. The latest step is +13.2%, and the largest absolute move remains +13.2% in 2023.
Moderate registry context
In the linked NAIC-derived registry, Nevada has 6,166 complaints distributed across 46 companies. The two coverage ranks are #27 and #27 of 51, a middle-lower footprint. Read those denominators with the complaint profile itself; neither count is a normalized complaint rate or evidence about why average auto expenditure moved.
Nearest expenditure peers. By average expenditure, Nevada's closest peers in this dataset are Delaware ($1,462.03) and Colorado ($1,452.82), both within a few dollars of Nevada's own $1,461.47.
Note on state comparisons: These averages reflect the mix of coverages purchased in Nevada, not what any individual consumer pays. Your personal premium depends on your driving record, vehicle, coverage limits, deductible, credit score (where permitted), and insurer.
