Redstone, CO
How exposed is Redstone to wildfire?
Redstone's 110 buildings earn a 83rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Redstone's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 74th percentile nationally.
Where Redstone's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Redstone: 88.2% of its 110 buildings, versus 11.8% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Redstone compares
Redstone ranks lower within Colorado (62nd percentile statewide) than its 83rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Redstone ranks 5,290 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,617 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 180 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Redstone's very high rating (83rd 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 88.2% of Redstone 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.
More on how this number was built
Redstone's 83rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Redstone, see the exposure-zones guide.
