Revere, MA
Revere, MA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Revere lands at the 25th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 11,499 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Revere's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 0.2% of Revere's 11,499 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 99.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 11,499 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Revere against the rest of the country
Compare Revere's two percentiles: 42nd within Massachusetts, only 25th nationally — a gap of 17 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Revere ranks 23,762 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,369 by building count (1 is largest). Within Massachusetts alone, it ranks 145 of 248 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Massachusetts on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Revere
Revere's moderate rating (25th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 99.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Revere gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
