Cory, IN
How exposed is Cory to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cory lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 114 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cory at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Cory's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Cory's buildings (68.4% of 114) 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.
Where Cory ranks
Cory's 26th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 4th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cory ranks 30,377 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,448 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 714 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Cory and the insurance market
Cory's low rating (4th 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 Cory
Cory's 68.4% 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.
