Holland, IA
Holland, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Holland at the 17th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 181 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Holland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Where Holland's buildings actually sit
Most of Holland's buildings (78.5% of 181) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Holland against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Holland's 17th national percentile and its 28th percentile inside Iowa, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Holland ranks 26,058 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,582 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 732 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Holland
At the 17th national percentile, Holland rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Holland
Holland's 78.5% 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.
Where Holland's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Holland's 26,058-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Holland's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
