Hundred, WV
Hundred, WV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hundred at the 47th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 229 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hundred at the 46th percentile, close to its 47th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Hundred: 56.3% of its 229 buildings, versus 43.7% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Hundred against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Hundred's 47th national percentile and its 34th percentile inside West Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hundred ranks 16,596 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,840 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 284 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
Hundred and the insurance market
Hundred's elevated wildfire rating (47th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Hundred
With 56.3% of Hundred in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
