Huntley, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
53rdpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Huntley lands at the 53rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 25 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Huntley at the 51st national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Shopping for coverage in Huntley

Huntley's elevated rating (53rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

What would actually reduce this score

Huntley's 64% 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.
