Arapahoe, WY
Arapahoe, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Arapahoe's 817 buildings earn a 74th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Arapahoe at the 71st national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Arapahoe's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Arapahoe's 817 counted buildings, 92% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Arapahoe against the rest of the country
Arapahoe's 74th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 37th 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, Arapahoe ranks 8,084 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,490 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 121 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Arapahoe
Arapahoe's high rating (74th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Arapahoe
With 92% of Arapahoe in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
