Antelope Hills, WY
Antelope Hills, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Antelope Hills at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 108 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Antelope Hills at the 83rd percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.
Antelope Hills's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Antelope Hills: 100% of its 108 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Antelope Hills compares
There's little gap between Antelope Hills's 86th national percentile and its 72nd percentile inside Wyoming, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 55 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Antelope Hills and the insurance market
Antelope Hills's 86th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Antelope Hills's 100% 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.
