Etna Green, IN
Etna Green, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Etna Green at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 307 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Etna Green at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Etna Green's buildings actually sit
Most of Etna Green's buildings (88.6% of 307) 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.
Where Etna Green ranks
Within Indiana, Etna Green ranks higher (21st percentile) than it does nationally (3rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Etna Green ranks 30,604 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,441 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 766 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Etna Green'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
Even with 88.6% of Etna Green 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.
Where Etna Green's figures come from
Etna Green's 3rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Etna Green's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
