Colliers, WV
Colliers, WV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Colliers lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 133 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Colliers at the 40th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Colliers's building exposure, zone by zone
133 buildings are counted in Colliers, and 85% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Colliers against the rest of the country
Colliers's 39th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside West Virginia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 27 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Colliers ranks 19,114 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,600 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 375 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Colliers
Colliers's moderate rating (39th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
