Royerton, IN
Royerton, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Royerton at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 275 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Royerton at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Where Royerton's buildings actually sit
Royerton rates 72.7% Minimal exposure against just 27.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 275 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Royerton ranks
Royerton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Indiana (12th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Royerton ranks 31,018 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,352 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 857 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Royerton
Royerton's low rating (2nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 72.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Royerton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Royerton's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Royerton's 31,018-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Royerton's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
