Warrington, IN
How exposed is Warrington to wildfire?
USFS scores Warrington at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 82 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 Warrington at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Warrington's building exposure, zone by zone
76.8% of Warrington's 82 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 63 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 23.2% are Minimal.
Where Warrington ranks
Warrington scores 2nd nationally and 16th within Indiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warrington ranks 30,827 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,796 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 816 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
Warrington's low rating (2nd 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
With 76.8% of Warrington in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Warrington's figures come from
Warrington's 2nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Warrington's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
