Felida, WA
How exposed is Felida to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Felida at the 18th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 3,694 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Felida's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
Felida's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Felida (88% of 3,694 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 6.9% sit in the Direct zone.
Felida against the rest of the country
Felida scores 18th nationally and 26th within Washington — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Felida ranks 25,827 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,537 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 466 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Felida and the insurance market
Felida's low rating (18th 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Felida (88% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
