Dietrich, ID
How exposed is Dietrich to wildfire?
Dietrich sits at the 97th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 157 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dietrich's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
Dietrich's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Dietrich: 58.6% of its 157 buildings, versus 41.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Dietrich against the rest of the country
Dietrich scores 97th nationally and 87th within Idaho — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dietrich ranks 847 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,557 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 32 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 97th percentile nationally, Dietrich 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Dietrich's 58.6% 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.
More on how this number was built
Dietrich's 97th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Dietrich, see the exposure-zones guide.
