Ririe, ID
How exposed is Ririe to wildfire?
Ririe sits at the 22nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 397 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ririe at the 17th national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Ririe rates 88.7% Minimal exposure against just 11.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 397 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Ririe against the rest of the country
Ririe's 22nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 4th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 18 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ririe ranks 24,697 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,260 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 223 of 232 places by risk.

Ririe and the insurance market
Ririe's moderate wildfire rating (22nd 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 Ririe
With 88.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Ririe gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Ririe's figures come from
Ririe's 22nd-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 Ririe's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
