Kingsbury, IN
Kingsbury, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Kingsbury at the 18th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 184 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Kingsbury at the 18th percentile, close to its 18th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 64.1% of Kingsbury's 184 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 35.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.

Kingsbury and the insurance market
At the 18th national percentile, Kingsbury 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 Kingsbury
Because 64.1% of Kingsbury's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
