Concrete, WA
How exposed is Concrete to wildfire?
Concrete sits at the 62nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 654 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Concrete at the 56th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Where Concrete's buildings actually sit
74.3% of Concrete's 654 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 25.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Concrete compares
Concrete scores 62nd nationally and 68th within Washington — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Concrete ranks 12,086 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,158 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 203 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Concrete's high rating (62nd 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Concrete (74.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
