Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI
Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hawaiian Paradise Park at the 88th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 7,150 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hawaiian Paradise Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Hawaiian Paradise Park's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 90.7% of Hawaiian Paradise Park's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 9.2% Indirect share and far above its 0.1% Minimal share — a profile where 6,485 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most. At 7,150 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Hawaiian Paradise Park against the rest of the country
Hawaiian Paradise Park ranks lower within Hawaii (34th percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hawaiian Paradise Park ranks 3,902 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,397 by building count (1 is largest). Within Hawaii alone, it ranks 108 of 163 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Hawaii on its state page.
Hawaiian Paradise Park and the insurance market
Hawaiian Paradise Park's 88th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Hawaiian Paradise Park (90.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
