Corinne, WV
How exposed is Corinne to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Corinne lands at the 86th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 212 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Corinne at the 88th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Corinne: 58% of its 212 buildings, versus 42% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Corinne ranks
Corinne scores 86th nationally and 74th within West Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corinne ranks 4,460 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,424 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 112 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Corinne
Corinne's very high rating (86th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 58% of Corinne 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.
More on how this number was built
Corinne's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Corinne, see the exposure-zones guide.
