Johnson Village, CO
How exposed is Johnson Village to wildfire?
Johnson Village's 266 buildings earn a 62nd-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 Johnson Village at the 54th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Where Johnson Village's buildings actually sit
71.1% of Johnson Village's 266 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 29% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Johnson Village ranks
Johnson Village's 62nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 29th ranking inside Colorado does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 32 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Johnson Village ranks 12,123 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,626 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 335 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Johnson Village and the insurance market
At the 62nd percentile nationally, Johnson Village carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 71.1% of Johnson Village'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.
More on how this number was built
Johnson Village's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Johnson Village, see the exposure-zones guide.
