Alleman, IA
How exposed is Alleman to wildfire?
Alleman's 278 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Alleman at the 4th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Alleman's buildings actually sit
Most of Alleman's buildings (64.4% of 278) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Alleman ranks
Alleman scores 4th nationally and 8th within Iowa — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Alleman ranks 30,259 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,256 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 934 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Alleman's low wildfire rating (4th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Alleman
With 64.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Alleman gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Alleman's 4th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Alleman, see the exposure-zones guide.
