Hollis, AK
Hollis, AK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hollis at the 9th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 160 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hollis's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Hollis's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Hollis's 160 counted buildings, 93.8% carry Direct exposure and only 1.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Hollis compares
There's little gap between Hollis's 9th national percentile and its 12th percentile inside Alaska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollis ranks 28,732 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,417 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 283 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hollis
At the 9th national percentile, Hollis rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Hollis (93.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
