Lemmon Valley, NV
Lemmon Valley wildfire risk explained
Lemmon Valley's 2,957 buildings earn a 99th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lemmon Valley at the 99th percentile, close to its 99th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Lemmon Valley's buildings (54.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Lemmon Valley against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Lemmon Valley's 99th national percentile and its 93rd percentile inside Nevada, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lemmon Valley ranks 261 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 9 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lemmon Valley
At the 99th percentile nationally, Lemmon Valley 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.
Hardening a home in Lemmon Valley
Because 54.4% of Lemmon Valley's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lemmon Valley's 99th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lemmon Valley, see the exposure-zones guide.
