San Acacio, CO
How exposed is San Acacio to wildfire?
USFS scores San Acacio at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 63 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts San Acacio at the 38th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
81% of San Acacio's 63 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 51 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 19.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where San Acacio ranks
Inside Colorado, San Acacio sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 38th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, San Acacio ranks 19,500 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,535 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 439 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in San Acacio
At the 38th national percentile, San Acacio rates moderate 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in San Acacio (81%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
San Acacio's 38th-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 San Acacio, see the exposure-zones guide.
