Nezperce, ID
Nezperce, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Nezperce lands at the 34th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 396 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Nezperce's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Nezperce's buildings actually sit
Most of Nezperce's buildings (77% of 396) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Nezperce against the rest of the country
Inside Idaho, Nezperce sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 34th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Nezperce ranks 20,727 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,296 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 212 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Nezperce and the insurance market
At the 34th national percentile, Nezperce rates moderate 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
With 77% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Nezperce gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
