Conway, NH
Conway, NH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Conway lands at the 16th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,983 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 Conway at the 16th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,983 buildings are counted in Conway, and 64.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.1% rated Minimal.
Where Conway ranks
Conway's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Hampshire (23rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (16th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conway ranks 26,600 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,524 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Hampshire alone, it ranks 75 of 100 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Hampshire on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 16th national percentile, Conway rates low 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
With 64.4% of Conway in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
