Ryan Park, WY
Ryan Park wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ryan Park lands at the 85th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 151 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ryan Park at the 82nd national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Ryan Park's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Ryan Park's 151 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 151 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Ryan Park against the rest of the country

What this risk score means for insurance
Ryan Park's 85th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Ryan Park's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Ryan Park's figures come from
