Fairview, WY
Fairview, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Fairview at the 83rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 289 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fairview at the 84th percentile, close to its 83rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
289 buildings are counted in Fairview, and 98.6% 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.
Where Fairview ranks
Inside Wyoming, Fairview sits at just the 63rd percentile even though it scores 83rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fairview ranks 5,279 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,952 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 73 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Fairview and the insurance market
At the 83rd percentile nationally, Fairview carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Fairview's 98.6% 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.
