Deep River, WA
Deep River, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Deep River's 252 buildings earn a 28th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Deep River at the 28th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Deep River's buildings actually sit
252 buildings are counted in Deep River, and 97.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.4% rated Minimal.
Where Deep River ranks
Deep River's 46th-percentile standing inside Washington outpaces its 28th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Deep River ranks 22,865 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,089 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 341 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
Deep River's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Deep River's 97.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
