Has anyone heard of this?
Farmers (!) Insurance said due to its remote location it was at risk for theft and they wouldn't insure it.

Is Farm Family registered to sell insurance in your state? If so, try them.

No I have never heard of this. I suppose if you lived at the end of some desolate road in some desolate area it would be a concern. Like interior Alaska. So if your home was nestled between two crack houses in an urban setting would they also not insure it? I would bet they would. Seems that their actuaries might need a refresher course.

Typically, you can not get insurance for fire-related issues.

And they call themselves "Farmers" Insurance. What a joke. I was with FI for many years and they finally tightened the rules governing rural houses several years ago. My agent was POed about that and encouraged me to send a sarcastic letter to them. I just switched companies.

I hadn't considered the urban situation. I wonder if rural people are considered a class of people.

We have this issue in California but it is due to wildfire. Proximity to a career fire station is of high significance.

You could also try Farm Bureau. State Farm wouldn't insure my house because it's old and I was in the process of remodeling at the time, so I had to switch to Farm Bureau.
