USFS scores Crown Point 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 67 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crown Point at the 22nd percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
Where Crown Point's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Crown Point: 88.1% of its 67 buildings, versus 9% Indirect and 3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Crown Point compares
Crown Point scores 21st nationally and 22nd within Alaska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Alaska alone, it ranks 252 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 21st national percentile, Crown Point rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 88.1% of Crown Point in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Crown Point's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Crown Point's 24,918-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crown Point's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
