Life Insurance in Idaho Falls: what is different here
- County
- Bonneville County
- Local hazards
- hard freezes
- snow load
- mapped flood plains
- high wind
- wildlife collisions
- Housing
- Idaho Falls has brick and frame homes from the early twentieth century in the Numbered Streets and the Ridge Avenue historic district, mid-century ranches in Sunnyside, and newer subdivisions on the east side toward Ammon and along the Sunnyside corridor. Basements are standard here, so sump pumps, frozen supply lines and water backup are the endorsements that earn their premium in this climate.
- Driving
- I-15 and US-20 are the working highways, with the Idaho National Laboratory buses and private commutes heading west across the desert, and US-26 and US-20 the routes to the Tetons and Yellowstone. Long, cold winters mean months of snow-pack roads, and the open highway drives put drivers into deer, elk and moose at dusk.
- Neighborhoods
- Numbered Streets, Sunnyside, Ridge Avenue Historic District, Downtown Idaho Falls
The Snake River cuts straight through the city, and the FEMA floodplain along its banks and the Greenbelt includes homes where a lender requires flood coverage. Snow-load on older, low-pitch roofs and ice damming are the winter losses a local underwriter asks about before writing a policy.
