Grangeville, ID
Grangeville, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Grangeville sits at the 92nd 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 2,057 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Grangeville at the 94th percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.
Grangeville's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Grangeville (88.1% of 2,057 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 11.8% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Grangeville ranks
Grangeville's 92nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 69th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 22 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grangeville ranks 2,645 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,321 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 72 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Grangeville
At the 92nd percentile nationally, Grangeville carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 88.1% of Grangeville'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.
