Revillo, SD
How exposed is Revillo to wildfire?
Revillo's 115 buildings earn a 10th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Revillo at the 8th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Where Revillo's buildings actually sit
Only 32.2% of Revillo's 115 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 67.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Revillo compares
There's little gap between Revillo's 10th national percentile and its 0th percentile inside South Dakota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Revillo ranks 28,319 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,427 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Dakota alone, it ranks 439 of 439 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Revillo
Revillo's low wildfire rating (10th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 67.8% of Revillo outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Revillo's figures come from
Revillo's 10th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Revillo's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
