Riverpoint, WA
Riverpoint, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Riverpoint sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 419 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Riverpoint at the 53rd national percentile — 4 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
98.1% of Riverpoint's 419 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 411 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 1.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Riverpoint ranks
Riverpoint's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (66th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (58th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Riverpoint ranks 13,349 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,851 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 216 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Riverpoint
At the 58th national percentile, Riverpoint rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 98.1% of Riverpoint 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
Riverpoint's 58th-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 Riverpoint, see the exposure-zones guide.
