Granger, WY
Granger, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Granger at the 51st national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 136 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Granger at the 47th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
62.5% of Granger's 136 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 37.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Granger compares
Inside Wyoming, Granger sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 51st 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, Granger ranks 15,493 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,478 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 178 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Granger and the insurance market
Granger's elevated wildfire rating (51st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Granger
Because 62.5% of Granger'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.
