How exposed is Literberry to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Literberry at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 89 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 Literberry at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Literberry rates 83.2% Minimal exposure against just 16.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 89 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Literberry compares

Hardening a home in Literberry
Even with 83.2% of Literberry outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
