Mooreland, IN
Mooreland wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mooreland at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 290 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mooreland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
Where Mooreland's buildings actually sit
95.5% of Mooreland's 290 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Mooreland compares
Within Indiana, Mooreland 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, Mooreland ranks 30,351 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,906 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 708 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mooreland
At the 4th national percentile, Mooreland rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Mooreland's 95.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Mooreland's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Mooreland's 30,351-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mooreland's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
