Dana, IN
How exposed is Dana to wildfire?
Dana's 473 buildings earn a 0th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dana at the 0th percentile, close to its 0th-percentile risk score.
Dana's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 89.4% of Dana's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 10.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Dana compares
Dana scores 0th nationally and 2nd within Indiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dana ranks 31,431 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,823 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 948 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dana
Dana's low wildfire rating (0th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 89.4% of Dana outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
