Indian Hills, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Indian Hills's 1,295 buildings earn a 13th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Indian Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Where Indian Hills's buildings actually sit
Of Indian Hills's 1,295 counted buildings, 56.1% carry Direct exposure and only 43.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Shopping for coverage in Indian Hills
Indian Hills's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Indian Hills's 56.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
