The homes here, and what that means for coverage
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates, ZIP code 38375.
An empty house needs the right policy
Nearly 1 in 5 homes in this ZIP is vacant. If you own a house that sits empty, such as one you inherited, tell us. On the standard homeowners form, vandalism isn't covered once the home has been vacant for more than 60 days in a row, and a house nobody lives in usually needs a different policy.
Homes from the 1970s: ask about aluminum wiring
28% of homes here were built in the 1970s. Aluminum branch wiring went into some homes built from 1965 to 1973, and carriers ask about it because the connections can overheat. If your house has it, tell us whether it's been repaired or replaced, and when.
Manufactured homes are written differently
About 1 in 8 homes in this ZIP is a manufactured home. Carriers usually insure them on a policy or endorsement made for manufactured homes, and the year built matters. Homes built before June 15, 1976 predate the federal HUD construction code, and some carriers won't write them. Have the HUD label number handy when you call.
Rebuild cost runs well above market value
The median home here is valued at $166,400, land included. On our rebuild calculator, a 1,500 square foot, one-story, builder-grade home on a slab in McNairy County comes to about $339,000. Insuring to market value would leave you short after a total loss. Set the dwelling limit from rebuild cost.

State minimum: 25/50/25
That's $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries you cause, and $25,000 for property damage. Most households need more. Our guideline is liability equal to 2.5 times household income or net worth, whichever is greater.
Every Tennessee auto policy includes uninsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your bodily injury liability, unless the named insured rejects it or picks lower limits in writing. Lower limits can't go below the state minimum. A rejection generally carries over to renewals with the same insurer until you ask for the coverage in writing. If you buy it, you also get the option to add uninsured motorist property damage coverage for your car.
