Kingsbury, NV
Kingsbury, NV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Kingsbury at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,516 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kingsbury at the 97th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,516 buildings are counted in Kingsbury, and 53% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Kingsbury against the rest of the country
Kingsbury ranks lower within Nevada (77th percentile statewide) than its 98th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kingsbury ranks 666 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,094 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 28 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Kingsbury and the insurance market
At the 98th percentile nationally, Kingsbury 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Kingsbury's 53% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
