What factors influence whether a person files an insurance claim?

Data Cleaning

The dataset was examined for data quality issues before analysis.

Missing Values Missing values were checked across all columns. Most columns did not contain missing values, while a few columns had some missing entries.
Duplicate Rows Duplicate entries were checked, and no duplicate rows were found.
Inconsistencies Categorical columns were reviewed for inconsistencies such as typos or irregular values. The categories appeared consistent and well-structured.
Date Parsing The dataset was reviewed for date or time-related features. No date columns were found, so no date parsing was required.
Scaling Issues Numeric features were reviewed for scaling differences. Some variables, such as annual mileage and credit score, are measured on different scales. This does not affect EDA directly, but it may be relevant in future modeling.

Outlier Detection & Handling

Outliers were examined using distribution plots for the following variables:

ANNUAL_MILEAGE
SPEEDING_VIOLATIONS
DUIS
PAST_ACCIDENTS

The distributions showed that most values are concentrated near the lower range, especially for DUIs and past accidents. However, some extreme values appeared in the higher ranges, indicating possible outliers.

Decision

The extreme values were not removed, because they may represent real-world risky driving behavior rather than errors. Keeping them makes the dataset more realistic and informative.

Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the numeric variables in the dataset.

ID and POSTAL_CODE were removed before calculating descriptive statistics because they are not meaningful analytical features.
Summary statistics included mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and quartiles.
A correlation heatmap was used to examine relationships between numeric variables.

Main Insight

Most variables showed weak to moderate correlations, suggesting that no single feature strongly dominates the prediction. Instead, multiple factors may contribute to insurance claim behavior.

Visualizations, Questions, and Insights

1. Distribution of Insurance Claims

What was done:
A count plot was used to visualize the distribution of the target variable (OUTCOME).

Question:
Is the dataset balanced in terms of insurance claims?

Answer / Insight:
The visualization shows that there are significantly more individuals who did not file a claim (OUTCOME = 0) than individuals who did (OUTCOME = 1).
This indicates that the dataset is imbalanced.

2. Age Group Among Claimants

What was done:
A pie chart was used to visualize the distribution of age groups among individuals who filed an insurance claim.

Question:
Does age affect the likelihood of filing an insurance claim?

Answer / Insight:
The analysis suggests that younger individuals are more likely to file insurance claims compared to older age groups.

3. Vehicle Year vs Insurance Claim

What was done:
A count plot was used to compare vehicle year and insurance claim outcomes.

Question:
Does vehicle age affect the likelihood of filing an insurance claim?

Answer / Insight:
Individuals with older vehicles (before 2015) are more likely to file insurance claims compared to those with newer vehicles.
This suggests that vehicle age may influence claim behavior.

4. Credit Score vs Insurance Claim

What was done:
A histogram was used to compare credit score distributions across claim outcomes.

Question:
Does credit score affect the likelihood of filing an insurance claim?

Answer / Insight:
Individuals who filed insurance claims tend to have lower credit scores, while those who did not file claims generally have higher credit scores.
This suggests that credit score is an important factor in predicting insurance claims.

5. Children and Driving Experience

What was done:
A heatmap was used to examine claim rates based on the combination of having children and driving experience.

Question:
How do having children and driving experience together affect the likelihood of filing an insurance claim?

Answer / Insight:
The heatmap shows that individuals with less driving experience tend to have higher claim rates, regardless of whether they have children.
Among more experienced drivers, those with children tend to have slightly lower claim rates.
This suggests that driving experience is a stronger factor, while having children may be associated with more cautious driving among experienced individuals.

6. Credit Score and Driving Experience

What was done:
A heatmap was used to examine how credit score and driving experience together influence insurance claim rates. Credit score was grouped into categories to better visualize patterns across different levels.

Question:
How do credit score and driving experience together affect the likelihood of filing an insurance claim?

Answer / Insight:
The heatmap shows that individuals with both low credit scores and low driving experience have the highest claim rates. In contrast, individuals with high credit scores and more driving experience tend to have significantly lower claim rates. This suggests that the combination of financial responsibility and driving experience is a strong predictor of insurance claims.

Key Decisions Made

During the analysis, the following decisions were made:

ID and POSTAL_CODE were excluded from descriptive statistics and correlation analysis because they are not meaningful predictive features.
Outliers were kept because they likely represent realistic extreme cases rather than data errors.
No date parsing was performed because the dataset does not include date-related features.
Categorical values were checked and found to be consistent.
Missing values were identified in a small number of entries; however, they were not handled as their proportion was minimal and not expected to significantly affect the analysis results.
The age variable was converted from categorical ranges into ordinal numeric values (0–3) to preserve the natural order of age groups and simplify analysis and visualization.

Main Findings

The analysis demonstrates that insurance claim behavior is influenced by a combination of demographic, financial, and behavioral factors, rather than a single variable.

Key findings include:

Age: Younger individuals are significantly more likely to file insurance claims. This may be due to lower driving experience and higher risk-taking behavior compared to older drivers.
Credit Score: Individuals with lower credit scores tend to file more claims. This suggests a potential link between financial responsibility and driving behavior, where lower credit scores may be associated with higher risk profiles.
Vehicle Year: Drivers with older vehicles are more likely to file claims. This may be explained by increased mechanical issues, lower safety standards, or higher likelihood of damage in older cars.
Driving Experience: Less experienced drivers show higher claim rates, indicating that experience plays a critical role in reducing risk and improving driving behavior over time.
Children and Driving Experience: When combining family status with driving experience, it was observed that drivers with less experience tend to have higher claim rates regardless of having children. However, among more experienced drivers, those with children tend to have slightly lower claim rates, suggesting more cautious driving behavior.
Credit Score and Driving Experience: The combination of low credit score and low driving experience is associated with the highest claim rates, while high credit score and extensive driving experience are associated with lower risk. This highlights the importance of combining multiple factors when analyzing insurance behavior.

Overall, these findings indicate that insurance risk is shaped by multiple interacting factors, highlighting the importance of analyzing variables both individually and in combination.

Conclusion

This analysis reveals clear and meaningful patterns in insurance claim behavior. The results show that younger individuals, drivers with lower credit scores, and owners of older vehicles are significantly more likely to file insurance claims.

Additionally, driving experience plays a critical role, with less experienced drivers showing higher claim rates. In contrast, factors such as speeding violations and annual mileage were found to have a weaker and less consistent impact on claim behavior. In particular, the combination of credit score and driving experience provides a strong distinction between high-risk and low-risk individuals.

These findings highlight that insurance claims are influenced by a combination of demographic, financial, and behavioral factors, rather than a single dominant variable.

Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into risk patterns and demonstrates strong potential for predictive modeling and decision-making in insurance analytics.
