Glenmora wildfire risk explained
Glenmora sits at the 89th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 889 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenmora's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 91st percentile nationally.
