Bippus, IN
How exposed is Bippus to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bippus lands at the 1st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 138 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bippus at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Bippus's building exposure, zone by zone
73.9% of Bippus's 138 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 26.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Bippus ranks
Bippus's risk sits at a similar level relative to Indiana (10th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bippus ranks 31,134 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,360 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 874 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bippus
At the 1st national percentile, Bippus rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Bippus
Bippus's 73.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
