Farmersburg, IN
Farmersburg, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Farmersburg's 784 buildings earn a 10th-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 Farmersburg at the 10th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Farmersburg's building exposure, zone by zone
71.9% of Farmersburg's 784 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 28.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Farmersburg against the rest of the country
Within Indiana, Farmersburg ranks higher (55th percentile) than it does nationally (10th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Farmersburg ranks 28,452 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,780 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 436 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
Farmersburg's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Farmersburg's 71.9% 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.
