Edgemoor, DE
Edgemoor, DE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Edgemoor lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,868 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edgemoor at the 37th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Edgemoor's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Edgemoor's buildings (88.4% of 1,868) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Edgemoor ranks
Edgemoor's risk sits at a similar level relative to Delaware (37th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (38th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edgemoor ranks 19,529 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,852 by building count (1 is largest). Within Delaware alone, it ranks 50 of 79 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Delaware on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edgemoor
At the 38th national percentile, Edgemoor rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 88.4% of Edgemoor outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
