Fort Greely, AK
Fort Greely, AK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fort Greely's 306 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fort Greely at the 93rd percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Fort Greely's buildings actually sit
Of Fort Greely's 306 counted buildings, 57.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Fort Greely against the rest of the country
Fort Greely scores 94th nationally and 83rd within Alaska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fort Greely ranks 1,814 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,458 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 55 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 94th percentile nationally, Fort Greely 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Fort Greely (57.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
