Osmond, WY
Osmond wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Osmond at the 82nd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 380 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Osmond's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 98.7% of Osmond's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 1.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 375 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Osmond ranks
Osmond's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 60th ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 23 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Osmond ranks 5,595 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,663 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 81 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Osmond
Osmond's 82nd-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 Osmond
Because Direct exposure dominates in Osmond (98.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Osmond's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Osmond, see the exposure-zones guide.
