How exposed is Keomah Village to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Keomah Village lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 54 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Keomah Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 57th percentile nationally.
Keomah Village's building exposure, zone by zone
77.8% of Keomah Village's 54 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 22.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
