Clearview Acres, WY
Clearview Acres wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Clearview Acres lands at the 58th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 315 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 Clearview Acres at the 52nd percentile, close to its 58th-percentile risk score.
Where Clearview Acres's buildings actually sit
Most of Clearview Acres's buildings (84.8%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Clearview Acres ranks
Clearview Acres's 58th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 14th ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clearview Acres ranks 13,286 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,245 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 166 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Clearview Acres

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Clearview Acres's 84.8% 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.
