Haswell, CO
Haswell wildfire risk explained
Haswell sits at the 73rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 116 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Haswell's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 70th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Haswell: 54.3% of its 116 buildings, versus 45.7% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Haswell ranks
Inside Colorado, Haswell sits at just the 41st percentile even though it scores 73rd 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, Haswell ranks 8,626 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,348 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 278 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Haswell
Haswell's high rating (73rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 54.3% of Haswell in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Haswell's 73rd-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 Haswell, see the exposure-zones guide.
