St. Anthony, ID
St. Anthony, ID's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts St. Anthony at the 73rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 1,667 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts St. Anthony at the 69th percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 51.8% of St. Anthony's 1,667 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 5.8% Direct and 42.4% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
St. Anthony against the rest of the country
Inside Idaho, St. Anthony sits at just the 40th percentile even though it scores 73rd 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, St. Anthony ranks 8,504 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,534 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 140 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
St. Anthony and the insurance market
St. Anthony's high rating (73rd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in St. Anthony (51.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where St. Anthony's figures come from
St. Anthony's 73rd-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 St. Anthony's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
