Winslow, IN
Winslow wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Winslow at the 36th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 543 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 Winslow at the 38th percentile, close to its 36th-percentile risk score.
Where Winslow's buildings actually sit
54.5% of Winslow's 543 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 45.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Winslow ranks
Within Indiana, Winslow ranks higher (95th percentile) than it does nationally (36th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Winslow ranks 20,038 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,665 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 46 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
At the 36th national percentile, Winslow rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Winslow
Because 54.5% of Winslow'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.
