Moreland, ID
Moreland, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Moreland at the 46th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 748 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Moreland at the 45th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Moreland's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 55.1% of Moreland's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 2.3% Indirect share and far above its 42.7% Minimal share — a profile where 412 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Moreland ranks
Moreland ranks lower within Idaho (13th percentile statewide) than its 46th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moreland ranks 16,979 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,138 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 201 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Moreland
Moreland's elevated wildfire rating (46th 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.
Hardening a home in Moreland
Because Direct exposure dominates in Moreland (55.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
