Schofield Barracks, HI
Schofield Barracks, HI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Schofield Barracks sits at the 97th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,437 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Schofield Barracks at the 95th percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
87.2% of Schofield Barracks's 3,437 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 12.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Schofield Barracks ranks
There's little gap between Schofield Barracks's 97th national percentile and its 90th percentile inside Hawaii, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Schofield Barracks ranks 1,001 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,858 by building count (1 is largest). Within Hawaii alone, it ranks 18 of 163 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Hawaii on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 97th percentile nationally, Schofield Barracks 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 87.2% of Schofield Barracks'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.
