George, WA
George, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
George's 233 buildings earn a 75th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, George's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 76th percentile nationally.
Where George's buildings actually sit
69.1% of George's 233 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 23.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
George against the rest of the country
George's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (72nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (75th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, George ranks 8,021 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,717 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 175 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
George and the insurance market
George's high rating (75th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 69.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, George gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
