Hollister, ID
Hollister, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hollister sits at the 96th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 165 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hollister at the 97th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
87.3% of Hollister's 165 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 144 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 12.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Hollister against the rest of the country
Hollister scores 96th nationally and 84th within Idaho — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollister ranks 1,132 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,210 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 38 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
Hollister's very high rating (96th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Hollister
Hollister's 87.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
