Delphi, IN
How exposed is Delphi to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Delphi at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,510 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 Delphi at the 5th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 89.3% of Delphi's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 10.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Delphi ranks
Within Indiana, Delphi ranks higher (32nd percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Delphi ranks 30,128 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,116 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 657 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Delphi
At the 4th national percentile, Delphi rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Delphi
Delphi's 89.3% 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
Delphi's 4th-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 Delphi, see the exposure-zones guide.
