Seville Colony, MT
Seville Colony wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Seville Colony at the 60th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 60 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Seville Colony at the 60th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Seville Colony's buildings actually sit
60 buildings are counted in Seville Colony, and 81.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 18.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Seville Colony against the rest of the country
Seville Colony ranks lower within Montana (25th percentile statewide) than its 60th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seville Colony ranks 12,552 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,657 by building count (1 is largest). Within Montana alone, it ranks 357 of 475 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Montana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Seville Colony
At the 60th percentile nationally, Seville Colony carries the 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Seville Colony's 81.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
