Stagecoach, NV
How exposed is Stagecoach to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Stagecoach lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,424 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stagecoach at the 95th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Stagecoach's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 60.3% of Stagecoach's 1,424 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 39.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Stagecoach compares
Inside Nevada, Stagecoach sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 94th 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, Stagecoach ranks 2,049 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,511 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 59 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Stagecoach and the insurance market
Stagecoach's very high rating (94th 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 Stagecoach
Because 60.3% of Stagecoach'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.
