Meadow Acres, WY
Meadow Acres wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Meadow Acres at the 90th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 179 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Meadow Acres's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
179 buildings are counted in Meadow Acres, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Meadow Acres against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Meadow Acres's 90th national percentile and its 90th percentile inside Wyoming, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Meadow Acres ranks 3,263 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,698 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 21 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Meadow Acres's very high rating (90th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Meadow Acres (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Meadow Acres's 90th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Meadow Acres, see the exposure-zones guide.
