Plummer, ID
Plummer, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Plummer at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 653 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Plummer at the 74th percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.
Where Plummer's buildings actually sit
653 buildings are counted in Plummer, and 62% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 38% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Plummer compares
Inside Idaho, Plummer sits at just the 42nd percentile even though it scores 76th 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, Plummer ranks 7,719 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,162 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 136 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Plummer and the insurance market
Plummer's high rating (76th 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 Plummer
Because 62% of Plummer's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
