Eden, IN
Eden wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Eden lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 102 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eden at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Eden's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 85.3% of Eden's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 14.7% Minimal share — a profile where 87 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Eden compares
Eden's 20th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 3rd 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, Eden ranks 30,632 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,945 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 773 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Eden
Eden's low wildfire rating (3rd 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Eden (85.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Eden's 3rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Eden, see the exposure-zones guide.
