Robertson, WY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
80thpercentile nationally

Robertson's 89 buildings earn a 80th-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, Robertson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 79th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

89Total buildings
100%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 100% of Robertson's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 89 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

How Robertson compares

Robertson's 80th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 50th ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 30 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Robertson ranks 6,289 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,558 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 96 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 80th percentile nationally, Robertson carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because Direct exposure dominates in Robertson (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.

Where Robertson's figures come from

Robertson's 80th-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 Robertson's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
