Ever wonder why people’s car insurance costs change when they move within Central New York?

Turns out, your address has a lot to do with what you pay.

Insurance companies may consider where you park your car, the amount of claims they receive in that area and how far you drive to work when they figure out your insurance costs, said Bruce Green and Anne Kelly, actuaries for the state Insurance Department.
