Albin, WY
How exposed is Albin to wildfire?
USFS scores Albin at the 40th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 117 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Albin at the 36th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Albin's buildings actually sit
76.1% of Albin's 117 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 23.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Albin against the rest of the country
Albin's 40th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 2nd ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Albin ranks 18,834 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,339 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 188 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Albin
Albin's elevated rating (40th 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
Albin's 76.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
