Rolling Prairie, IN
Rolling Prairie, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Rolling Prairie at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 349 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rolling Prairie's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 12th percentile nationally.
Rolling Prairie's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Rolling Prairie's buildings (59.6% of 349) 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 Rolling Prairie ranks
Within Indiana, Rolling Prairie ranks higher (62nd percentile) than it does nationally (12th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rolling Prairie ranks 27,603 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,332 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 365 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
Rolling Prairie's low rating (12th 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
With 59.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rolling Prairie gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
