Perry Park, CO
Perry Park, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Perry Park's 924 buildings earn a 99th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Perry Park at the 99th percentile, close to its 99th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Perry Park's 924 counted buildings, 99.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Perry Park against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Perry Park's 99th national percentile and its 100th percentile inside Colorado, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Perry Park ranks 195 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,515 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 1 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Perry Park and the insurance market
Perry Park's very high rating (99th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Perry Park (99.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Perry Park's figures come from
Perry Park's 99th-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 Perry Park's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
