Ione, WA
Ione, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ione's 410 buildings earn a 72nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ione at the 69th percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Ione's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 75.1% of Ione's 410 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 24.2% Direct and 0.7% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Ione compares
Ione's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (72nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (72nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ione ranks 8,967 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,041 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 177 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ione
Ione's high rating (72nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 75.1% of Ione's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Ione's figures come from
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 410 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Ione. The exposure-zones guide covers what Ione's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
