Being ticketed for not having the correct address on your driver's license is not likely to affect your rates. It is not a risk factor normally looked at if the reason for not changing it is because you moved and forgot to get your address changed over or did not get it done within the time constraints the state has for this procedure.
However if the address on your license was wrong due to you giving your state's licensing agency false information (an incorrect address) then that type of situation may be considered by insurers as risky behavior.
It appears that you may be in the US military. If your address was not changed due to moving for the military you may want to see if there will be any leniency or exception for getting you driver's license address updated. In some jurisdictions this could be treated as a fix-it ticket meaning that it could be dismissed if you corrected your address before the court date on your ticket. You may thus want to call the court to see if this is a possibility.
State laws and insurance company guidelines and rating systems differ so to find out for certain if this driver's license citation will affect your rates you will need to ask your agent. You also should make certain that your insurance provider has your correct address because a change of geological location could affect your rates.
If your insurance rates are affect by this ticket then shop around for auto insurance to see if you can get a policy with lower rates.
