Rossville, IN
Rossville, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rossville lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 798 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rossville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Where Rossville's buildings actually sit
Only 12% of Rossville's 798 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 88% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Rossville compares
Rossville's 19th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 3rd 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, Rossville ranks 30,698 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,648 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 786 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
Rossville's low rating (3rd 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
Rossville's 88% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Rossville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rossville's 30,698-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rossville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
