Corwith, IA
Corwith, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Corwith sits at the 1st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 266 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Corwith at the 1st national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Corwith's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Corwith's buildings (74.8% of 266) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Corwith ranks
There's little gap between Corwith's 1st national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Iowa, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corwith ranks 31,147 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,630 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 1,006 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Corwith
At the 1st national percentile, Corwith 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 Corwith
With 74.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Corwith gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
