Insurance companies already extrapolate such data from zip code.... So it's not speculation at all that they'd want an even more accurate metric
Basically in today's world, you'd have less than 1% of actors that would take this data and do something productive or beneficial for you or society as a whole... The other 99% will just use this data to make money on the back of others
