Boxley, IN
Boxley, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Boxley lands at the 2nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 108 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Boxley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Boxley's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 61.1% of Boxley's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 38.9% Minimal share — a profile where 66 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Boxley against the rest of the country
Boxley scores 2nd nationally and 17th within Indiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Boxley ranks 30,790 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,691 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 803 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Boxley and the insurance market
Boxley's low rating (2nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 61.1% of Boxley in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Boxley'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 direct exposure implies beyond Boxley, see the exposure-zones guide.
