Harrah, WA
Harrah, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Harrah sits at the 34th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 267 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Harrah at the 36th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
94% of Harrah's 267 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Harrah against the rest of the country
Within Washington, Harrah ranks higher (53rd percentile) than it does nationally (34th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Harrah ranks 20,939 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,617 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 299 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Harrah
At the 34th national percentile, Harrah rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Harrah's 94% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
