If you live in a middle- or low-income area, you might be paying more than you need to for car insurance.
Recent research from the Consumer Federation of America is calling into question the “high” and “variable” insurance rates being charged to middle-class drivers with good driving records. (Hat tip: The New York Times.)
These findings are the end result of a study that fabricated profiles for two hypothetical middle-class people with good driving records and compared the online insurance quotes they received from the country’s four largest car insurers: State Farm, Allstate, Progressive and GEICO.

Gigantic trees rise up from carefully manicured lawns, their symmetrical branches reaching for the sky. At the bay’s edge, two giant, shell-like structures watch over the scenery, stranded on an unusual beach.

Over three nights in June, some 320,000 revelers endured bottleneck traffic to make a pilgrimage to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The crowds were as diverse as they were massive — ravers in neon tutus and furry boots, glasses-wearing college freshmen, bona fide adults — all headed to an electronic dance music festival which featured over 200 performers across stages that varied in size and genre.
It’s perfectly possible that you haven’t heard of Electric Daisy Carnival or Insomniac, the company that puts it on, but know this: EDC, as it’s known, is the biggest, most-pyrotechnically trigger-happy music festival in North America.
