Veedersburg, IN
Veedersburg, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Veedersburg's 1,431 buildings earn a 12th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Veedersburg at the 12th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 34% of Veedersburg's 1,431 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0.9% carry Indirect; the remaining 65.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

What this risk score means for insurance
Veedersburg's low wildfire rating (12th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Veedersburg's 65.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
