Boggstown, IN
Boggstown wildfire risk explained
Boggstown sits at the 2nd 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 110 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Boggstown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Boggstown's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 37.3% of Boggstown's 110 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 62.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Boggstown against the rest of the country
Boggstown's 18th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 2nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Boggstown ranks 30,757 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,619 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 797 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 2nd national percentile, Boggstown rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 62.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Boggstown gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Boggstown's 2nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Boggstown, see the exposure-zones guide.
