Dyer, NV
How exposed is Dyer to wildfire?
Dyer sits at the 36th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 313 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dyer at the 40th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Dyer's buildings actually sit
Of Dyer's 313 counted buildings, 83.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Dyer compares
Inside Nevada, Dyer sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 36th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dyer ranks 20,074 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,286 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 112 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dyer
Dyer's moderate rating (36th 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
With 83.7% of Dyer in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
