Remington, IN
Remington wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Remington lands at the 1st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,021 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Remington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
Where Remington's buildings actually sit
Most of Remington's buildings (83.1% of 1,021) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Remington ranks
Remington's risk sits at a similar level relative to Indiana (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Remington ranks 31,169 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,790 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 888 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Remington
Remington's low wildfire rating (1st 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 Remington
Even with 83.1% of Remington 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.
