HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Traffic may be getting worse here in Houston, but car insurance rates are getting better. Average annual insurance premiums are down over 20% from 2019, according to insurance site The Zebra.

But, there are some neighborhoods that pay more than others.

The five Houston zipcodes that pay the most are:

• 77091 in Northwest Houston

• 77026 including Kashmere Gardens

• 77038 in North Houston including part of Greenspoint

• 77037 in the Aldine area
