Crown Point, IN
Crown Point, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Crown Point lands at the 51st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 12,780 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crown Point at the 53rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Crown Point's buildings actually sit
Most of Crown Point's buildings (93.3% of 12,780) 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. At 12,780 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Crown Point compares
Crown Point's 97th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 51st 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, Crown Point ranks 15,497 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,195 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 27 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crown Point
Crown Point's elevated rating (51st 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
Crown Point's 93.3% 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.
More on how this number was built
Crown Point's 51st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Crown Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
