Cokedale, CO
How exposed is Cokedale to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cokedale lands at the 92nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 111 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 Cokedale at the 87th percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.
Where Cokedale's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Cokedale: 53.2% of its 111 buildings, versus 46.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Cokedale ranks
Cokedale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Colorado (78th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (92nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Colorado alone, it ranks 105 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cokedale
Cokedale'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Cokedale (53.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Cokedale's 92nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Cokedale, see the exposure-zones guide.
