Reardan, WA

Reardan, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
76thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Reardan at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 452 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 Reardan at the 74th percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.

Where Reardan's buildings actually sit

452Total buildings
8.9%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
91.2%Minimal exposure

Most of Reardan's buildings (91.2% of 452) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

How Reardan compares

Reardan's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (73rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (76th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reardan ranks 7,580 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,243 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 171 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.

Reardan and the insurance market

Reardan'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.

What would actually reduce this score

With 91.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Reardan gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Where Reardan's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Reardan's 7,580-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Reardan's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
