Craigmont, ID
Craigmont, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Craigmont at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 449 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Craigmont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
83.5% of Craigmont's 449 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Craigmont against the rest of the country
Inside Idaho, Craigmont sits at just the 4th percentile even though it scores 21st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Craigmont ranks 24,824 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,290 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 224 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Craigmont's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Craigmont
With 83.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Craigmont gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
