So many rebuilt titles - what's going on here?

I've been shopping for a nice 2017 or newer Focus, and it seems that nearly every one I look at has a salvage or rebuilt title. Kind of shocking. I would think that if lots of these are getting totaled, that would show up in the insurance rates, but when I go to my carrier to get quotes, Focus insurance doesn't seem to be any more expensive than other comparable cars. I'm not really interested in owning a rebuilt vehicle, partly for insurance reasons (I'm told it can be tougher to get insurance), and also because I don't want this haunting me at resale time.

Would anyone care to guess why I'm seeing this?

(And while we're at it, if you've got a nice 2017+ hatchback you'd like to part with, send me a PM)
