Leroy, IN
Leroy, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Leroy's 145 buildings earn a 48th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leroy at the 50th percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
Where Leroy's buildings actually sit
67.6% of Leroy's 145 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 32.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Leroy compares
Compare Leroy's two percentiles: 97th within Indiana, only 48th nationally — a gap of 49 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leroy ranks 16,321 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,073 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 31 of 967 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Leroy
Leroy's elevated wildfire rating (48th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Leroy
With 67.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Leroy gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Leroy's figures come from
Leroy's 48th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Leroy's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
