Disautel, WA
Disautel, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Disautel at the 95th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 61 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Disautel at the 97th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Disautel's 61 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 61 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Disautel ranks
Disautel's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (88th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (95th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Disautel ranks 1,461 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,640 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 78 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
Disautel's very high rating (95th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Disautel (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
