Kingman, IN
Kingman wildfire risk explained
Kingman's 404 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kingman at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Kingman's building exposure, zone by zone
73.3% of Kingman's 404 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 26.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Kingman ranks
Within Indiana, Kingman ranks higher (30th percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kingman ranks 30,218 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,135 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 675 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Kingman and the insurance market
Kingman's low rating (4th 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
With 73.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Kingman gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
