Acres Green, CO
Acres Green, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Acres Green lands at the 50th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,094 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Acres Green at the 51st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Acres Green rates 91.4% Minimal exposure against just 8.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,094 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Acres Green ranks
Acres Green ranks lower within Colorado (19th percentile statewide) than its 50th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Acres Green ranks 15,622 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,313 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 382 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 50th national percentile, Acres Green rates elevated 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
With 91.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Acres Green gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
