Bradshaw, WV
Bradshaw, WV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Bradshaw at the 92nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 167 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bradshaw at the 94th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bradshaw's buildings actually sit
167 buildings are counted in Bradshaw, and 52.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 47.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Bradshaw compares
There's little gap between Bradshaw's 92nd national percentile and its 86th percentile inside West Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bradshaw ranks 2,662 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,157 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 60 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bradshaw
Bradshaw's very high rating (92nd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 52.1% of Bradshaw'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.
Where Bradshaw's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Bradshaw's 2,662-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bradshaw's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
