A new storm risk analysis reveals that 43.5 million U.S. properties face significant hail risk, with potential losses comparable to major hurricane damage. According to Cotality's 2026 storm report, hail poses a previously underestimated threat to residential real estate nationwide.
The scale of exposure spans millions of homes across hail-prone regions, though the report does not specify which metropolitan areas or states face the highest concentrations of risk. The widespread nature of the threat suggests both urban and rural markets could experience substantial property value impacts.
