Groveland, ID
How exposed is Groveland to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Groveland lands at the 45th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 449 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Groveland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Where Groveland's buildings actually sit
59.7% of Groveland's 449 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 268 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 40.3% are Minimal.
How Groveland compares
Inside Idaho, Groveland sits at just the 13th percentile even though it scores 45th 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, Groveland ranks 17,386 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,291 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 202 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Groveland
Groveland's elevated wildfire rating (45th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Groveland's 59.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
