Hebron, IN
How exposed is Hebron to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hebron lands at the 21st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,713 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hebron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Hebron's buildings actually sit
Only 7.7% of Hebron's 1,713 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 92.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Hebron against the rest of the country
Compare Hebron's two percentiles: 83rd within Indiana, only 21st nationally — a gap of 62 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hebron ranks 24,925 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,375 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 165 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Hebron and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Hebron rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Hebron's 92.3% 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.
Where Hebron's figures come from
Hebron's 21st-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 Hebron's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
