East Valley, NV
East Valley, NV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores East Valley at the 97th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,252 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts East Valley at the 97th percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,252 buildings are counted in East Valley, and 63.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.2% rated Minimal.
East Valley against the rest of the country
Inside Nevada, East Valley sits at just the 67th percentile even though it scores 97th 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, East Valley ranks 852 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,337 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 40 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
At the 97th percentile nationally, East Valley 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
East Valley's 63.5% 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.
