Raymond, NH
Raymond wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Raymond at the 28th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,520 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Raymond's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
Where Raymond's buildings actually sit
1,520 buildings are counted in Raymond, and 61.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Raymond against the rest of the country
Raymond's 89th-percentile standing inside New Hampshire outpaces its 28th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Raymond ranks 22,787 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,084 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Hampshire alone, it ranks 12 of 100 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Hampshire on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Raymond
Raymond's moderate wildfire rating (28th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Raymond
Raymond's 61.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
