Conway, WA
How exposed is Conway to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Conway lands at the 8th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 96 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 9th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 79.2% of Conway's 96 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 13.5% Direct and 7.3% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Conway compares
Conway scores 8th nationally and 8th 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, Conway ranks 29,013 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,251 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 579 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Conway
At the 8th 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.
Hardening a home in Conway
Because 79.2% of Conway's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
