Hutchison, VA
How exposed is Hutchison to wildfire?
Hutchison's 380 buildings earn a 7th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hutchison's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 6.6% of Hutchison's 380 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 93.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Hutchison ranks
Hutchison scores 7th nationally and 0th 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, Hutchison ranks 29,325 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,660 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 680 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hutchison
Hutchison's low rating (7th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Hutchison
With 93.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hutchison 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
Hutchison's 7th-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 Hutchison, see the exposure-zones guide.
