Oh... missed that. So if you use your current zip code, it drops down to only $200 per year.bones said:
That's insane. I think if any big one hits... all of Irvine gets San Andreas'ed.

For whatever reason the CEA has determined that 92620 (Woodbury) has 5X the earthquake risk as 92618 (Woodbury East). Probably made more sense back when 92618 was all south of the Great Park.

Does earthquake risk make you not want to own a rental? If you had a rental for next 25 years, decent odds you may face substantial earthquake damage. Insurance costs $ and still doesn't totally protect you.
For ex, after northridge, many in la Canada (25 mi away) had to do large repairs. Some decided to rebuilt. Prices eventually went up since that was early 90s, but costs can be big even if you're 25+ mi away.
