Lakeridge, NV
Lakeridge wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lakeridge at the 98th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 303 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lakeridge at the 96th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
Where Lakeridge's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 73.6% of Lakeridge's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 26.1% Indirect share and far above its 0.3% Minimal share — a profile where 223 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Lakeridge against the rest of the country
Inside Nevada, Lakeridge sits at just the 73rd percentile even though it scores 98th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lakeridge ranks 763 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,545 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 35 of 123 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Lakeridge
Lakeridge's very high rating (98th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 73.6% of Lakeridge 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.
