Krupp, WA
Krupp wildfire risk explained
Krupp sits at the 97th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 74 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Krupp at the 97th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
58.1% of Krupp's 74 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 43 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 41.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Krupp compares
Krupp's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (92nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Krupp ranks 993 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,152 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 50 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Krupp's very high rating (97th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Krupp
With 58.1% of Krupp in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
