In order to give some perspective on the shifts in the marketplace over the past decade within the intended goal of presenting a side-by-side comparison on how the Private Passenger Auto Insurance Marketplace continues to evolve.

With that said, the following three graphs depict the Top Ten Private Passenger Insurers for the month of September 2021, followed by the same graph for the same month, from five years earlier in September 2016, and then finally from a decade ago in September 2011.
