Huntington, VA
How exposed is Huntington to wildfire?
Huntington's 1,337 buildings earn a 22nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Huntington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 8.4% of Huntington's 1,337 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 91.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Huntington ranks
Huntington scores 22nd nationally and 13th within Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntington ranks 24,503 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,896 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 596 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 22nd national percentile, Huntington rates moderate 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 Huntington
With 91.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Huntington gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Huntington's 22nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Huntington, see the exposure-zones guide.
