Reddington, IN
Reddington, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Reddington's 190 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Reddington at the 9th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
77.9% of Reddington's 190 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 148 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 22.1% are Minimal.
Reddington against the rest of the country
Compare Reddington's two percentiles: 51st within Indiana, only 8th nationally — a gap of 42 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reddington ranks 28,865 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,237 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 477 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
At the 8th national percentile, Reddington rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Reddington (77.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Reddington's figures come from
Reddington's 8th-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 Reddington's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
