Mooreland wildfire risk explained

Low
4thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mooreland at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 290 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Mooreland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.

Where Mooreland's buildings actually sit

290Total buildings
4.5%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
95.5%Minimal exposure

95.5% of Mooreland's 290 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

How Mooreland compares

Shopping for coverage in Mooreland

At the 4th national percentile, Mooreland rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Mooreland's 95.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
