Lund, NV
Lund, NV's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lund's 248 buildings earn a 64th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lund at the 61st national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lund's building exposure, zone by zone
69% of Lund's 248 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 171 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 31.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Lund compares
Lund's 64th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 21st ranking inside Nevada does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lund ranks 11,249 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,213 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 97 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Lund and the insurance market
Lund's 64th-percentile, 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lund (69%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
