Andersonville, IN
Andersonville, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Andersonville at the 14th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 136 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Andersonville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 15th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Andersonville (66.2% of 136 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 33.8% sit in the Direct zone.
How Andersonville compares
Compare Andersonville's two percentiles: 66th within Indiana, only 14th nationally — a gap of 52 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Andersonville ranks 27,126 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,436 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 330 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Andersonville and the insurance market
Andersonville's low wildfire rating (14th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Andersonville
Because 66.2% of Andersonville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
