Padroni, CO
Padroni, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Padroni lands at the 53rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 91 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Padroni's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
Padroni's building exposure, zone by zone
91 buildings are counted in Padroni, and 50.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 49.5% rated Minimal.
Padroni against the rest of the country
Inside Colorado, Padroni sits at just the 21st percentile even though it scores 53rd 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, Padroni ranks 14,742 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,439 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 371 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
At the 53rd national percentile, Padroni rates elevated 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Padroni (50.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Padroni's figures come from
Padroni's 53rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Padroni's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
