Romeo, CO
Romeo, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Romeo at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 212 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Romeo at the 9th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Romeo's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 95.3% of Romeo's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 4.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Romeo against the rest of the country
Romeo's risk sits at a similar level relative to Colorado (0th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (11th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Romeo ranks 28,196 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,388 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 471 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Romeo
At the 11th national percentile, Romeo rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 95.3% of Romeo 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.
More on how this number was built
Romeo's 11th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Romeo, see the exposure-zones guide.
