Butlerville, IN
Butlerville, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Butlerville at the 19th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 242 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Butlerville at the 21st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Butlerville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Butlerville's buildings (58.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Butlerville ranks
Compare Butlerville's two percentiles: 77th within Indiana, only 19th nationally — a gap of 58 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Within Indiana alone, it ranks 218 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Butlerville and the insurance market
At the 19th national percentile, Butlerville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
