Every year the Risk Management Agency has filed for Fresno County is in the series below, from 2015 to 2024. Read across those years the county’s annual loss ratio — indemnity divided by premium — runs from 3.63 at the low end to 4.59 at the high end, with 3.91 in the middle. The worst year filed is 2015, at 4.82. The band points are years the county actually ran, never a figure interpolated between two of them.
