About 63% of workers drive alone, and 83% of households have two or more vehicles, well above the state's 63%.

With a commute near the state average, an honest annual mileage figure matters, since Prop 103 makes mileage one of the top rating factors. Because county theft is slightly above average, consider whether comprehensive coverage is worth adding, since liability-only does not cover theft of your own car.
