Lynn, IN
Lynn, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lynn sits at the 3rd 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 724 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 Lynn at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
Lynn's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 9.5% of Lynn's 724 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Lynn ranks
Within Indiana, Lynn ranks higher (20th percentile) than it does nationally (3rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynn ranks 30,662 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,403 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 778 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lynn
Lynn's low wildfire rating (3rd 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
Even with 90.5% of Lynn 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.
