Fraser, CO
How exposed is Fraser to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Fraser at the 83rd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 927 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fraser's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Fraser's building exposure, zone by zone
927 buildings are counted in Fraser, and 51.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 48.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Fraser ranks
Fraser's 83rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 62nd ranking inside Colorado does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 21 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fraser ranks 5,255 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,496 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 178 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fraser
Fraser's very high rating (83rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Fraser
Because 51.8% of Fraser'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
Fraser's 83rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Fraser, see the exposure-zones guide.
