How exposed is Newtonville to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Newtonville at the 34th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 117 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 Newtonville at the 36th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Where Newtonville's buildings actually sit
117 buildings are counted in Newtonville, and 91.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Newtonville against the rest of the country
Newtonville's 94th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 34th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Newtonville ranks 20,760 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,298 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 58 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Newtonville's moderate rating (34th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Newtonville's 91.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
