Quinhagak, AK
How exposed is Quinhagak to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Quinhagak at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 223 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Quinhagak at the 34th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Quinhagak's buildings actually sit
223 buildings are counted in Quinhagak, and 75.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 24.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Quinhagak ranks
Quinhagak's risk sits at a similar level relative to Alaska (26th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (31st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Quinhagak ranks 21,671 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,999 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 238 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Quinhagak's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Quinhagak
Because 75.8% of Quinhagak'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.
