Eastmont, WA
How exposed is Eastmont to wildfire?
Eastmont sits at the 8th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 8,053 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Eastmont at the 10th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.
Eastmont's building exposure, zone by zone
Eastmont rates 47.5% Minimal exposure against just 8.6% Direct and 44% Indirect — of 8,053 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 8,053 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Eastmont compares
Eastmont's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastmont ranks 29,014 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,092 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 580 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
Eastmont's low wildfire rating (8th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 47.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Eastmont gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
