Crocker, WA
Crocker, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Crocker at the 44th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 877 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crocker at the 44th national percentile — 1 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
Of Crocker's 877 counted buildings, 67.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Crocker ranks
Within Washington, Crocker ranks higher (59th percentile) than it does nationally (44th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crocker ranks 17,791 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,939 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 257 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Crocker's elevated rating (44th 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 Crocker
Because Direct exposure dominates in Crocker (67.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Crocker's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Crocker's 17,791-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crocker's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
