Spring Valley, NV
How exposed is Spring Valley to wildfire?
Spring Valley's 64,329 buildings earn a 74th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Spring Valley at the 76th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Spring Valley's buildings actually sit
Spring Valley rates 75.2% Minimal exposure against just 3.3% Direct and 21.6% Indirect — of 64,329 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 64,329 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Spring Valley compares
Inside Nevada, Spring Valley sits at just the 29th percentile even though it scores 74th 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, Spring Valley ranks 8,129 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 120 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 88 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spring Valley
Spring Valley's high rating (74th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Spring Valley
With 75.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Spring Valley gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Spring Valley's figures come from
Spring Valley's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Spring Valley's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
