Indian Springs, NV
Indian Springs, NV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Indian Springs's 632 buildings earn a 65th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Indian Springs at the 72nd national percentile — 7 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Indian Springs's buildings (90.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Indian Springs against the rest of the country
Indian Springs's 65th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 23rd ranking inside Nevada does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 42 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Indian Springs ranks 11,165 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,438 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 95 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Indian Springs and the insurance market
Indian Springs's high rating (65th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Indian Springs (90.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
