Nunn, CO
Nunn, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Nunn's 448 buildings earn a 88th-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 Nunn at the 88th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Nunn's building exposure, zone by zone
62.3% of Nunn's 448 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 279 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 37.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Nunn compares
Nunn ranks lower within Colorado (70th percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Nunn ranks 3,839 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,313 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 145 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Nunn's very high rating (88th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Nunn
With 62.3% of Nunn 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.
