Evergreen, MT
Evergreen, MT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Evergreen's 5,093 buildings earn a 36th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Evergreen at the 37th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Evergreen's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 30.8% of Evergreen's 5,093 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 69.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,093 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Evergreen against the rest of the country
Evergreen ranks lower within Montana (7th percentile statewide) than its 36th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Evergreen ranks 20,173 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,385 by building count (1 is largest). Within Montana alone, it ranks 444 of 475 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Montana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Evergreen
At the 36th national percentile, Evergreen rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 69.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Evergreen gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Evergreen's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Evergreen, see the exposure-zones guide.
