Roxborough Park, CO
How exposed is Roxborough Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roxborough Park lands at the 99th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 3,415 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roxborough Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Roxborough Park's buildings (80.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Roxborough Park compares
There's little gap between Roxborough Park's 99th national percentile and its 97th percentile inside Colorado, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roxborough Park ranks 316 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,896 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 20 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Roxborough Park and the insurance market
Roxborough Park's very high rating (99th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 80.5% of Roxborough Park's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Roxborough Park's figures come from
Roxborough Park's 99th-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 Roxborough Park's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
