Everson, WA
Everson, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Everson sits at the 12th 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 1,034 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 Everson at the 15th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Where Everson's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Everson (78.5% of 1,034 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 21.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Everson against the rest of the country
Everson's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (13th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (12th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Everson ranks 27,844 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,701 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 543 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Everson
Everson's low rating (12th 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
Everson's 78.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
