USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crowheart at the 80th percentile, close to its 83rd-percentile risk score.
Where Crowheart's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Crowheart: 99.6% of its 247 buildings, versus 0.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Crowheart compares
Inside Wyoming, Crowheart sits at just the 61st percentile even though it scores 83rd 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, Crowheart ranks 5,343 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,255 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 75 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Crowheart and the insurance market
At the 83rd percentile nationally, Crowheart carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
