Gleed, WA
How exposed is Gleed to wildfire?
USFS scores Gleed at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,923 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Gleed at the 95th percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
Where Gleed's buildings actually sit
Of Gleed's 1,923 counted buildings, 66.9% 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.
Gleed against the rest of the country
Gleed scores 93rd nationally and 85th within Washington — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Gleed ranks 2,096 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,702 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 96 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Gleed's very high rating (93rd 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 66.9% of Gleed 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.
More on how this number was built
Gleed's 93rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Gleed, see the exposure-zones guide.
