Levelock, AK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
51stpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Levelock at the 51st national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 76 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Levelock's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 57th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

100%Direct exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Levelock: 100% of its 76 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

How Levelock compares

Levelock scores 51st nationally and 41st within Alaska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Levelock ranks 15,432 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,036 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 191 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Levelock

At the 51st national percentile, Levelock rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

Levelock's 100% 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.

More on how this number was built

Levelock's 51st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Levelock, see the exposure-zones guide.
