Pisinemo wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Pisinemo lands at the 51st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 151 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pisinemo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Pisinemo 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.
