USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Aleknagik at the 81st percentile, close to its 83rd-percentile risk score.
Aleknagik's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Aleknagik: 98.7% of its 154 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 1.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Aleknagik against the rest of the country
Inside Alaska, Aleknagik sits at just the 66th percentile even though it scores 83rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Alaska alone, it ranks 110 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Aleknagik

Hardening a home in Aleknagik
Aleknagik's 98.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Aleknagik's figures come from
