Springport, IN
How exposed is Springport to wildfire?
Springport sits at the 13th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 109 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Springport at the 12th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Springport's buildings actually sit
109 buildings are counted in Springport, and 59.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 40.4% rated Minimal.
How Springport compares
Compare Springport's two percentiles: 63rd within Indiana, only 13th nationally — a gap of 50 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springport ranks 27,449 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,657 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 357 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
Springport's low rating (13th 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 Springport in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Springport's 13th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Springport, see the exposure-zones guide.
