Hansville, WA
Hansville, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hansville at the 17th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 2,415 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hansville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 17th percentile nationally.
Where Hansville's buildings actually sit
65.1% of Hansville's 2,415 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,573 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 25.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 9.6% are Minimal.
How Hansville compares
Hansville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (24th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (17th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hansville ranks 26,051 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,480 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 476 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Hansville and the insurance market
Hansville's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Hansville's 65.1% 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.
More on how this number was built
Hansville's 17th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hansville, see the exposure-zones guide.
