Ahuimanu, HI
Ahuimanu, HI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Ahuimanu at the 96th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 2,192 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ahuimanu at the 94th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Ahuimanu's building exposure, zone by zone
2,192 buildings are counted in Ahuimanu, and 87.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 12.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Ahuimanu ranks
There's little gap between Ahuimanu's 96th national percentile and its 84th percentile inside Hawaii, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ahuimanu ranks 1,287 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,952 by building count (1 is largest). Within Hawaii alone, it ranks 27 of 163 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Hawaii on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ahuimanu
At the 96th percentile nationally, Ahuimanu carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Ahuimanu
Because 87.1% of Ahuimanu'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.
