Garland, WY
Garland, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Garland sits at the 35th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 120 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Garland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 57.5% of Garland's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 39.2% Indirect share and far above its 3.3% Minimal share — a profile where 69 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Garland against the rest of the country
Inside Wyoming, Garland sits at just the 2nd percentile even though it scores 35th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Garland ranks 20,567 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,174 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 189 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 35th national percentile, Garland rates moderate 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 Garland
With 57.5% of Garland in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
