Avimor, ID
How exposed is Avimor to wildfire?
Avimor sits at the 99th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 215 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Avimor at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Avimor's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 58.1% of Avimor's 215 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 41.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Avimor against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Avimor's 99th national percentile and its 96th percentile inside Idaho, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Avimor ranks 380 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,300 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 9 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Avimor and the insurance market
Avimor's 99th-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
Avimor's 58.1% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
