Maryhill, WA
How exposed is Maryhill to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Maryhill lands at the 97th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 97 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Maryhill at the 97th percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.
Maryhill's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Maryhill ranks

Within Washington alone, it ranks 58 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Maryhill
Maryhill's 97th-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
Maryhill's 89.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
