Sedgwick, CO
Sedgwick wildfire risk explained
Sedgwick's 193 buildings earn a 56th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sedgwick at the 54th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
193 buildings are counted in Sedgwick, and 80.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Sedgwick ranks
Inside Colorado, Sedgwick sits at just the 25th percentile even though it scores 56th 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, Sedgwick ranks 13,828 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,112 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 354 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Sedgwick and the insurance market
Sedgwick's elevated rating (56th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Sedgwick
Because 80.8% of Sedgwick'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.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Sedgwick's 13,828-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Sedgwick, see the exposure-zones guide.
