Leo-Cedarville, IN
How exposed is Leo-Cedarville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leo-Cedarville lands at the 15th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,707 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leo-Cedarville at the 15th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
Where Leo-Cedarville's buildings actually sit
Most of Leo-Cedarville's buildings (55% of 1,707) 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.
