Glenrock, WY
Glenrock wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glenrock at the 88th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,298 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glenrock at the 87th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Glenrock's buildings (87.8%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Glenrock compares
Glenrock's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wyoming (84th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (88th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenrock ranks 3,736 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,089 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 31 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glenrock
Glenrock's very high rating (88th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 87.8% of Glenrock's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Glenrock's 88th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Glenrock, see the exposure-zones guide.
