How exposed is Fowlerton to wildfire?

Low
0thpercentile nationally

Fowlerton sits at the 0th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 190 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fowlerton at the 0th percentile, close to its 0th-percentile risk score.

25.3%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure

Fowlerton rates 74.7% Minimal exposure against just 25.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 190 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Where Fowlerton ranks

There's little gap between Fowlerton's 0th national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Indiana, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fowlerton ranks 31,396 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,235 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 942 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Fowlerton

Fowlerton's low wildfire rating (0th 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

With 74.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fowlerton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
