Keokea, HI
Keokea, HI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Keokea at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 847 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Keokea at the 90th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Keokea's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 98.7% of Keokea's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 1.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 836 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Keokea against the rest of the country
Keokea ranks lower within Hawaii (65th percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Keokea ranks 2,043 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,188 by building count (1 is largest). Within Hawaii alone, it ranks 58 of 163 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Keokea
At the 94th percentile nationally, Keokea carries the very 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.
