Uniondale, IN
Uniondale wildfire risk explained
Uniondale's 217 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Uniondale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Uniondale's buildings (90.8% of 217) 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.
How Uniondale compares
Uniondale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Indiana (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Uniondale ranks 31,204 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,230 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 895 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
Uniondale's low wildfire rating (1st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Uniondale
With 90.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Uniondale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
