Lincoln Park, CO
How exposed is Lincoln Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lincoln Park lands at the 84th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 2,892 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lincoln Park at the 83rd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Lincoln Park's buildings actually sit
2,892 buildings are counted in Lincoln Park, and 53.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 35.4% in Direct exposure or the 10.7% rated Minimal.
Where Lincoln Park ranks
Inside Colorado, Lincoln Park sits at just the 65th percentile even though it scores 84th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Colorado alone, it ranks 168 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park's 84th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Lincoln Park's 53.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
