Jasonville, IN
Jasonville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jasonville lands at the 15th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,436 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jasonville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Jasonville's buildings (62.8% of 1,436) 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.

Shopping for coverage in Jasonville
Jasonville's low rating (15th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 62.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Jasonville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
