Bunker Hill, IN
How exposed is Bunker Hill to wildfire?
Bunker Hill's 542 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bunker Hill at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Bunker Hill's buildings actually sit
Bunker Hill rates 83.6% Minimal exposure against just 16.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 542 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Bunker Hill ranks
Within Indiana, Bunker Hill ranks higher (30th percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Indiana alone, it ranks 674 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bunker Hill
Bunker Hill's low wildfire rating (4th 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 Bunker Hill
Even with 83.6% of Bunker Hill outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Bunker Hill's 4th-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 Bunker Hill, see the exposure-zones guide.
