Burrows, IN
How exposed is Burrows to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Burrows lands at the 2nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 143 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Burrows's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Where Burrows's buildings actually sit
81.8% of Burrows's 143 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 18.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Burrows compares
There's little gap between Burrows's 2nd national percentile and its 17th percentile inside Indiana, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Burrows ranks 30,758 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,149 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 798 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Burrows
Burrows'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 81.8% of Burrows 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.
