Milroy, IN
Milroy, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Milroy at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 447 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Milroy at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Milroy's buildings actually sit
Most of Milroy's buildings (86.6% of 447) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Milroy against the rest of the country
Compare Milroy's two percentiles: 31st within Indiana, only 4th nationally — a gap of 27 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Milroy ranks 30,160 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,329 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 666 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Milroy and the insurance market
Milroy'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.
Hardening a home in Milroy
With 86.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Milroy gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
