New Goshen, IN
How exposed is New Goshen to wildfire?
New Goshen sits at the 21st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 279 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, New Goshen's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.

Hardening a home in New Goshen
With 70.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, New Goshen gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
