Iliff, CO
Iliff, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Iliff at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 194 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Iliff at the 36th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Iliff's buildings actually sit
Iliff rates 83.5% Minimal exposure against just 16.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 194 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Iliff ranks lower within Colorado (7th percentile statewide) than its 38th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.
