State Line City, IN
How exposed is State Line City to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, State Line City lands at the 2nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 134 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts State Line City at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
77.6% of State Line City's 134 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 22.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
State Line City against the rest of the country
State Line City scores 2nd nationally and 13th within Indiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, State Line City ranks 30,948 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,536 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 845 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in State Line City
At the 2nd national percentile, State Line City rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 77.6% of State Line City outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where State Line City's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind State Line City's 30,948-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide.
