Homa Hills, WY
How exposed is Homa Hills to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Homa Hills at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 281 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Homa Hills at the 84th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Homa Hills's buildings actually sit
100% of Homa Hills's 281 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 281 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Homa Hills compares
Homa Hills's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wyoming (73rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (86th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Homa Hills ranks 4,524 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,172 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 53 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Homa Hills's very high rating (86th 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 Homa Hills
Because Direct exposure dominates in Homa Hills (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Homa Hills's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Homa Hills, see the exposure-zones guide.
