Superstitious home owners may not like the idea of taking up residence at number 13, but an analysis of home insurance showed that someone living at number 243 would be more than twice as likely to make a claim.
Some 45% of people living at number 243 have made a claim in the past four years, with number 201 on 36% and number 1 on 34%. In comparison just 18% of people living at number 13 claimed on their insurance during the same period. Of the ten unluckiest addresses, seven were in the hundreds, numbers 190, 240, 241, 221, 217, 218 and 121.
Surprisingly, break-ins and thefts accounted for the minority of the "bad luck" experienced by residents. Three-quarters of all claims relating to loss or accidental damage, which suggests it's not the house that is unlucky, more the owners being clumsy or accident prone.
