Out of every US place USFS scores, Loudoun Valley Estates lands at the 14th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,780 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Loudoun Valley Estates at the 14th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
64.3% of Loudoun Valley Estates's 1,780 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 13.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
