Fleming, CO
Fleming, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fleming's 327 buildings earn a 56th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fleming's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
Where Fleming's buildings actually sit
327 buildings are counted in Fleming, and 80.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19.6% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Fleming ranks
Fleming's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 24th ranking inside Colorado does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fleming ranks 13,920 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,889 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 357 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 56th national percentile, Fleming rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Fleming
Because 80.4% of Fleming's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Fleming's 13,920-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Fleming, see the exposure-zones guide.
