Ivanhoe, VA
Ivanhoe, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ivanhoe sits at the 60th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 443 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ivanhoe's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 62nd percentile nationally.
Ivanhoe's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Ivanhoe: 92.6% of its 443 buildings, versus 7.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Ivanhoe ranks
There's little gap between Ivanhoe's 60th national percentile and its 66th percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ivanhoe ranks 12,749 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,409 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 231 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe's elevated rating (60th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Ivanhoe's 92.6% 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.
