Connersville, IN
Connersville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Connersville at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 7,761 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Connersville at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Connersville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 91.1% of Connersville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 8.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 7,761 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Connersville ranks
Within Indiana, Connersville ranks higher (46th percentile) than it does nationally (7th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Connersville ranks 29,274 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,194 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 519 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Connersville and the insurance market
Connersville's low rating (7th 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 Connersville
Connersville's 91.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
