Drummond, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Drummond's 35 buildings earn a 49th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Drummond at the 46th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.
Drummond's building exposure, zone by zone
54.3% of Drummond's 35 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 19 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 45.7% are Minimal.
How Drummond compares
Drummond's 49th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 16th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 33 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Drummond ranks 16,159 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,267 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 196 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Drummond
Drummond's elevated rating (49th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Drummond (54.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
