Moxee, WA
How exposed is Moxee to wildfire?
Moxee's 1,559 buildings earn a 84th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Moxee at the 86th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Moxee rates 71% Minimal exposure against just 11.4% Direct and 17.6% Indirect — of 1,559 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Moxee compares
There's little gap between Moxee's 84th national percentile and its 76th percentile inside Washington, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moxee ranks 4,964 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,927 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 152 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Moxee and the insurance market
Moxee's 84th-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.
Hardening a home in Moxee
Moxee's 71% 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.
