Five Corners, WA
Five Corners, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Five Corners lands at the 25th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 7,402 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Five Corners at the 31st national percentile — 6 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Five Corners's buildings actually sit
Five Corners rates 95.7% Minimal exposure against just 4.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 7,402 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 7,402 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Five Corners compares
Within Washington, Five Corners ranks higher (42nd percentile) than it does nationally (25th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Five Corners ranks 23,587 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,302 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 362 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Five Corners's moderate wildfire rating (25th 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 Five Corners
Five Corners's 95.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
