Glenbrook, NV
Glenbrook wildfire risk explained
Glenbrook's 278 buildings earn a 98th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenbrook's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
278 buildings are counted in Glenbrook, and 98.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 1.1% rated Minimal.
Where Glenbrook ranks
Inside Nevada, Glenbrook sits at just the 72nd percentile even though it scores 98th 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, Glenbrook ranks 762 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,272 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 34 of 123 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Glenbrook
Glenbrook's very high rating (98th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Glenbrook (98.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Glenbrook's figures come from
Glenbrook's 98th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glenbrook's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
