Enchanted Hills, IN
How exposed is Enchanted Hills to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Enchanted Hills at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 923 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Enchanted Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
76% of Enchanted Hills's 923 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 24.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Enchanted Hills against the rest of the country
Compare Enchanted Hills's two percentiles: 25th within Indiana, only 3rd nationally — a gap of 21 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enchanted Hills ranks 30,444 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,527 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 727 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Enchanted Hills and the insurance market
Enchanted Hills's low rating (3rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 76% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Enchanted Hills gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
