Versailles, IN
How exposed is Versailles to wildfire?
Versailles sits at the 23rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,113 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Versailles's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Versailles's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Versailles's buildings (56.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Versailles ranks
Versailles's 89th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 23rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Versailles ranks 24,137 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,195 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 110 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Versailles
At the 23rd national percentile, Versailles rates moderate 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
Because 56.5% of Versailles's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
