I don't know how the rates compare, and I expect there are many more accidents in the metro than there are in rural and suburban areas. Metro accidents are more likely to happen at low speed, and result in less personal injury.

Accidents that happen at highway speeds ae more likely to result in injury.

Another factor in this is that personal injury costs ( except for liabliity ) are covered by health insurance, not auto insurance, so the cost of injuries is not entirely reflected in auto insurance rates

If that's the case then why are auto insurance rates higher for those who live in the urban core?
