Hansen, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hansen's 540 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hansen's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Where Hansen's buildings actually sit
Most of Hansen's buildings (93.3% of 540) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Hansen ranks
There's little gap between Hansen's 8th national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Idaho, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hansen ranks 28,859 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,716 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 229 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hansen
Hansen's low wildfire rating (8th 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
Even with 93.3% of Hansen outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hansen's 28,859-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Hansen, see the exposure-zones guide.
