How exposed is Lewisville to wildfire?

Low
2ndpercentile nationally

Lewisville sits at the 2nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 286 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lewisville at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

286Total buildings
16.8%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
83.2%Minimal exposure

Only 16.8% of Lewisville's 286 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 83.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

Lewisville against the rest of the country

Lewisville scores 2nd nationally and 12th within Indiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lewisville ranks 31,016 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,002 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 855 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Lewisville

Lewisville's low wildfire rating (2nd 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Even with 83.2% of Lewisville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
