Taylorsville, IN
Taylorsville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Taylorsville lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 528 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Taylorsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 6th percentile nationally.
Where Taylorsville's buildings actually sit
Most of Taylorsville's buildings (74.1% of 528) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Taylorsville and the insurance market
At the 6th national percentile, Taylorsville 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
With 74.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Taylorsville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
