Morocco, IN

Morocco, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
6thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Morocco at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 843 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Morocco's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.

Morocco's building exposure, zone by zone

843Total buildings
19.7%Direct exposure
2.5%Indirect exposure
77.8%Minimal exposure

77.8% of Morocco's 843 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 19.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

How Morocco compares

Compare Morocco's two percentiles: 41st within Indiana, only 6th nationally — a gap of 35 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morocco ranks 29,653 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,221 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 574 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.

Morocco and the insurance market

Morocco's low wildfire rating (6th 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 Morocco

Even with 77.8% of Morocco 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.

Where Morocco's figures come from

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 843 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Morocco. The exposure-zones guide covers what Morocco's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
