Abstract: A method for rating insurance products using a programmed computer system comprising: receiving a coordinate pair comprising a longitude and a latitude of a location; determining a target coordinate grid block bounded by latitude and longitude lines, which grid block is associated with the coordinate pair; querying a database for a first set of existing data associated with the target coordinate grid block, wherein the existing data was associated with the target coordinate grid block prior to receiving the coordinate pair; querying a database for a second set of existing data associated with a regulator, which regulates insurance policies in a geographic area comprising the location; and calculating a pure premium based on constant values and an analysis of the data in the first set and the second set.

Abstract: A computer readable medium containing a set of computer readable instructions that when loaded into a computer configure that computer to: receive demographic data, fire station data, or other data associated with a location; receive a coordinate pair including a longitude and latitude of a location; determine a coordinate grid block bounded by latitude and longitude lines, which grid block is associated with the coordinate pair; query a database for a plurality of existing data associated with the coordinate grid block; and determine a rate based at least in part on the plurality of existing data and the demographic data, fire station data, or other data associated with a location.

Abstract: A method for rating insurance products using a programmed computer system having steps including receiving a coordinate pair comprising a longitude and a latitude of a location; determining a target coordinate grid block by truncating a decimal representation of the longitude and latitude of the location; querying a database for a first set of existing data associated with the target coordinate grid block; setting a ring counter to an initial value; determining a current ring of coordinate grid blocks grid adjacent to and surrounding the target grid block; querying the database for a second set of existing data associated with each coordinate grid block in the current ring of coordinate grid blocks; and calculating a rating for an insurance product based on an analysis of the data.
