Mineral Springs, IN
How exposed is Mineral Springs to wildfire?
Mineral Springs 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 332 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 Mineral Springs at the 6th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
Where Mineral Springs's buildings actually sit
Of Mineral Springs's 332 counted buildings, 56.9% carry Direct exposure and only 43.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Hardening a home in Mineral Springs
With 56.9% of Mineral Springs in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Mineral Springs's figures come from
Mineral Springs's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mineral Springs's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
