Warren Park, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
8thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Warren Park at the 8th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 433 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Warren Park at the 10th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

433Total buildings
28.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
71.8%Minimal exposure

Most of Warren Park's buildings (71.8% of 433) 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.

Warren Park against the rest of the country

Within Indiana, Warren Park ranks higher (50th percentile) than it does nationally (8th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warren Park ranks 28,931 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,580 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 487 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.

Warren Park and the insurance market

Warren Park's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Even with 71.8% of Warren Park 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.
