Greens Fork, IN
Greens Fork, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greens Fork lands at the 9th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 248 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greens Fork's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 16.1% of Greens Fork's 248 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 83.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Greens Fork against the rest of the country
Greens Fork's 52nd-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 9th 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, Greens Fork ranks 28,736 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,199 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 461 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Greens Fork and the insurance market
Greens Fork's low wildfire rating (9th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Greens Fork's 83.9% 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.
