Manilla, IN
How exposed is Manilla to wildfire?
USFS scores Manilla at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 203 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Manilla at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Manilla's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 29.1% of Manilla's 203 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 70.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Manilla against the rest of the country
Within Indiana, Manilla ranks higher (27th percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Manilla ranks 30,349 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,726 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 706 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Manilla and the insurance market
Manilla's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 70.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Manilla gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Manilla's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Manilla's 30,349-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Manilla's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
