Crowley, CO
Crowley wildfire risk explained
Crowley's 132 buildings earn a 69th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Crowley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
Crowley's building exposure, zone by zone
75.8% of Crowley's 132 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 24.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Crowley against the rest of the country
Inside Colorado, Crowley sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 69th 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, Crowley ranks 9,665 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,611 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 304 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Crowley's high rating (69th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Crowley gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Crowley's figures come from
Crowley's 69th-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 Crowley's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
