Hickam Housing, HI
How exposed is Hickam Housing to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hickam Housing lands at the 70th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 2,155 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hickam Housing's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 69th percentile nationally.
Where Hickam Housing's buildings actually sit
94.8% of Hickam Housing's 2,155 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 5.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
