Moore, ID
How exposed is Moore to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Moore at the 39th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 176 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Moore at the 35th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Moore's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Moore (64.2% of 176 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 35.8% sit in the Direct zone.
How Moore compares
Moore's 39th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 27 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moore ranks 19,311 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,773 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 204 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Moore
Moore's moderate wildfire rating (39th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Moore's 64.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
