Rushville, IN
Rushville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rushville at the 3rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,614 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rushville at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Rushville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 94.9% of Rushville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 5.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Rushville ranks
Within Indiana, Rushville ranks higher (20th percentile) than it does nationally (3rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rushville ranks 30,608 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,637 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 770 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rushville
Rushville'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
With 94.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rushville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
