Conroy, IA
Conroy, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Conroy lands at the 43rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 191 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Conroy's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Where Conroy's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 81.7% of Conroy's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 18.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Conroy ranks
Conroy's 59th-percentile standing inside Iowa outpaces its 43rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conroy ranks 18,083 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,197 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 422 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Conroy
At the 43rd national percentile, Conroy 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
Conroy's 81.7% 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.
Where Conroy's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Conroy's 18,083-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Conroy's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
