Huntingburg, IN
Huntingburg, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Huntingburg's 2,823 buildings earn a 18th-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 Huntingburg at the 19th percentile, close to its 18th-percentile risk score.
Where Huntingburg's buildings actually sit
Most of Huntingburg's buildings (79.7% of 2,823) 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.
Huntingburg against the rest of the country
Huntingburg's 75th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 18th 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, Huntingburg ranks 25,808 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,716 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 243 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Huntingburg and the insurance market
At the 18th national percentile, Huntingburg rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Huntingburg
Even with 79.7% of Huntingburg 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.
