Kings Park West, VA
Kings Park West wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Kings Park West lands at the 20th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 3,374 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kings Park West's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 20th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 52.8% of Kings Park West's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 47.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Shopping for coverage in Kings Park West

What would actually reduce this score
With 52.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Kings Park West 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
