Clermont, IN
Clermont, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Clermont at the 16th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 835 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Clermont at the 19th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
Where Clermont's buildings actually sit
Most of Clermont's buildings (85% of 835) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Clermont compares
Within Indiana, Clermont ranks higher (71st percentile) than it does nationally (16th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clermont ranks 26,339 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,300 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 282 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Clermont
Clermont's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Clermont
With 85% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Clermont gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
