Springville, IA
Springville, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Springville lands at the 21st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 695 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Springville at the 21st national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 14.8% of Springville's 695 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 85.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Springville ranks
Springville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Iowa (34th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (21st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springville ranks 24,959 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,717 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 675 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Springville
Springville's moderate rating (21st 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 Springville
With 85.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Springville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
