Heyburn, ID
Heyburn, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Heyburn lands at the 25th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,545 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Heyburn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
Where Heyburn's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 93.1% of Heyburn's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Heyburn ranks
Inside Idaho, Heyburn sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 25th 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, Heyburn ranks 23,658 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,969 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 219 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Heyburn's moderate rating (25th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 93.1% of Heyburn 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
Heyburn's 25th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Heyburn, see the exposure-zones guide.
