Fallon, NV
Fallon wildfire risk explained
Fallon's 3,939 buildings earn a 31st-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 Fallon at the 30th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Fallon's buildings actually sit
Most of Fallon's buildings (96.4% of 3,939) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Fallon compares
Inside Nevada, Fallon sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 31st 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, Fallon ranks 21,807 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,298 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 116 of 123 places by risk.

Fallon and the insurance market
Fallon's moderate wildfire rating (31st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Fallon
With 96.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fallon 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
Fallon's 31st-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 Fallon, see the exposure-zones guide.
