Corriganville, MD
How exposed is Corriganville to wildfire?
Corriganville's 284 buildings earn a 56th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Corriganville at the 55th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Corriganville's buildings actually sit
Most of Corriganville's buildings (62%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Corriganville ranks
Compare Corriganville's two percentiles: 79th within Maryland, only 56th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corriganville ranks 13,771 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,057 by building count (1 is largest). Within Maryland alone, it ranks 109 of 527 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Maryland on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Corriganville
Corriganville's elevated wildfire rating (56th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 62% of Corriganville'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.
Where Corriganville's figures come from
Corriganville's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Corriganville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
