Marion (Grant), IN
Marion (Grant), IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Marion (Grant) at the 5th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 14,360 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marion (Grant)'s burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Marion (Grant) rates 93.4% Minimal exposure against just 6.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 14,360 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 14,360 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Marion (Grant) compares
Compare Marion (Grant)'s two percentiles: 34th within Indiana, only 5th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marion (Grant) ranks 30,040 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,043 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 638 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Marion (Grant)
Marion (Grant)'s low wildfire rating (5th 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.
Hardening a home in Marion (Grant)
Even with 93.4% of Marion (Grant) 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.
More on how this number was built
Marion (Grant)'s 5th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Marion (Grant), see the exposure-zones guide.
