Anmoore, WV
Anmoore wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Anmoore lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 412 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Anmoore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 83.7% of Anmoore's 412 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 16.3% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
