Naukati Bay, AK
Naukati Bay, AK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Naukati Bay at the 7th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 104 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Naukati Bay's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Where Naukati Bay's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Naukati Bay's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 104 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Naukati Bay against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Naukati Bay's 7th national percentile and its 6th percentile inside Alaska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Naukati Bay ranks 29,269 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,831 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 304 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 7th national percentile, Naukati Bay rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Naukati Bay
With 100% of Naukati Bay in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
