Stratmoor, CO
Stratmoor wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Stratmoor lands at the 79th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 2,318 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stratmoor at the 78th percentile, close to its 79th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Stratmoor's buildings (72.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Stratmoor ranks
Stratmoor's 79th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 51st ranking inside Colorado does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 27 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stratmoor ranks 6,707 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,666 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 231 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stratmoor
Stratmoor's 79th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Stratmoor
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Stratmoor (72.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
