Edna Bay, AK
How exposed is Edna Bay to wildfire?
Edna Bay 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 107 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edna Bay's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
107 buildings are counted in Edna Bay, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Edna Bay against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Edna Bay's 8th national percentile and its 11th percentile inside Alaska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edna Bay ranks 28,921 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,720 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 287 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Edna Bay's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Edna Bay
Because Direct exposure dominates in Edna Bay (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Edna Bay's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Edna Bay, see the exposure-zones guide.
