Littleton, NH
Littleton wildfire risk explained
Littleton's 2,122 buildings earn a 13th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Littleton at the 13th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Littleton's buildings actually sit
2,122 buildings are counted in Littleton, and 62.6% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 37.4% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.

Within New Hampshire alone, it ranks 91 of 100 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Hampshire on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Littleton
Littleton's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Littleton (62.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Littleton's figures come from
Littleton's 13th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Littleton's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
