Bovill, ID
How exposed is Bovill to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bovill lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 212 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bovill at the 93rd percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Bovill's buildings actually sit
212 buildings are counted in Bovill, and 80.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Bovill against the rest of the country
Inside Idaho, Bovill sits at just the 75th percentile even though it scores 94th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bovill ranks 1,984 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,391 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 58 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 94th percentile nationally, Bovill carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 80.7% of Bovill's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
