Camp Springs, MD
How exposed is Camp Springs to wildfire?
Camp Springs's 7,529 buildings earn a 28th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Camp Springs at the 28th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Camp Springs's buildings (71.6% of 7,529) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 7,529 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Camp Springs against the rest of the country
Camp Springs scores 28th nationally and 42nd within Maryland — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Camp Springs ranks 22,719 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,271 by building count (1 is largest). Within Maryland alone, it ranks 304 of 527 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Maryland on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Camp Springs's moderate wildfire rating (28th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Camp Springs
Camp Springs's 71.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Camp Springs's figures come from
Camp Springs's 28th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Camp Springs's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
