Amo, IN
Amo, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Amo sits at the 7th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 262 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Amo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Amo's building exposure, zone by zone
Amo rates 61.1% Minimal exposure against just 38.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 262 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Amo ranks
Within Indiana, Amo ranks higher (46th percentile) than it does nationally (7th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Amo ranks 29,337 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,767 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 525 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Amo
At the 7th national percentile, Amo rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 61.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Amo gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Amo's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Amo's 29,337-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Amo's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
