Letts, IN
Letts, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Letts at the 12th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 121 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Letts at the 12th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Letts's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 34.7% of Letts's 121 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 65.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Letts compares

Shopping for coverage in Letts
Letts's low rating (12th 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
Letts's 65.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
