King Arthur Park, MT
King Arthur Park, MT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, King Arthur Park lands at the 57th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 623 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, King Arthur Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 59th percentile nationally.
Where King Arthur Park's buildings actually sit
Only 17.7% of King Arthur Park's 623 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
King Arthur Park against the rest of the country

Shopping for coverage in King Arthur Park
King Arthur Park's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 82.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, King Arthur Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
