Coburg, IA
Coburg, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Coburg's 35 buildings earn a 50th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Coburg at the 50th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Coburg's buildings actually sit
Coburg rates 65.7% Minimal exposure against just 34.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 35 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Coburg against the rest of the country
Within Iowa, Coburg ranks higher (69th percentile) than it does nationally (50th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Shopping for coverage in Coburg
At the 50th national percentile, Coburg rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Coburg's 65.7% 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.
