Grapeview, WA
How exposed is Grapeview to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Grapeview lands at the 28th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,040 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Grapeview at the 28th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Grapeview's buildings actually sit
Of Grapeview's 1,040 counted buildings, 56.1% carry Direct exposure and only 19.8% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
