Stantonville wildfire risk explained

High
63rdpercentile nationally

USFS scores Stantonville at the 63rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 219 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stantonville at the 66th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
