Rockport, IN
Rockport, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rockport lands at the 20th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,108 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockport at the 21st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rockport's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 33.9% of Rockport's 1,108 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 66.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Rockport compares
Within Indiana, Rockport ranks higher (80th percentile) than it does nationally (20th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Indiana alone, it ranks 201 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Rockport and the insurance market
Rockport's low wildfire rating (20th 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 Rockport
With 66.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rockport gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
