Double Spring, NV
Double Spring, NV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Double Spring sits at the 99th 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 135 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Double Spring's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Double Spring's 135 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 135 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Double Spring compares
Double Spring scores 99th nationally and 91st within Nevada — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Double Spring ranks 324 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 11 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Double Spring's 99th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
