Enterprise, WV
Enterprise, WV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Enterprise's 652 buildings earn a 44th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Enterprise at the 45th percentile, close to its 44th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Enterprise: 70.6% of its 652 buildings, versus 29.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Enterprise against the rest of the country
Enterprise's 44th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 25th ranking inside West Virginia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 19 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enterprise ranks 17,824 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,186 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 323 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Enterprise and the insurance market
Enterprise's elevated rating (44th 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
Enterprise's 70.6% 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.
