Conkling Park, ID
How exposed is Conkling Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Conkling Park lands at the 69th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 189 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 Conkling Park at the 65th percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
76.7% of Conkling Park's 189 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 145 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 16.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 6.9% are Minimal.
