Logansport, IN
Logansport wildfire risk explained
Logansport sits at the 6th 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 9,324 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Logansport at the 6th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 95.6% of Logansport's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 4.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 9,324 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Logansport compares
Within Indiana, Logansport ranks higher (41st percentile) than it does nationally (6th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Logansport ranks 29,625 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,762 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 570 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Logansport
Logansport's low wildfire rating (6th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 95.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Logansport gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
