ISO is the leading supplier of statistical, actuarial, and underwriting information for and about the property/casualty insurance industry. The ISO (PPC) ratings for a community provide the foundation on which most insurers build their coverage programs. The quality of the fire department, the water supply and hydrant locations, the communication systems, the building codes, and the building inspection programs determine a community’s rating. ISO ratings range from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most favorable. Property insurance companies use ISO ratings to set insurance premium rates: the lower the ISO rating, the lower the insurance premium.
