Stonewall wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Stonewall lands at the 58th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,714 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stonewall's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 59th percentile nationally.

1,714 buildings are counted in Stonewall, and 82.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
