Struble, IA
Struble, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Struble at the 14th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 63 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 Struble at the 12th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
Struble's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 38.1% of Struble's 63 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 61.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Struble ranks
Struble's risk sits at a similar level relative to Iowa (24th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Struble ranks 27,129 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,541 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 775 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Struble
At the 14th national percentile, Struble rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Struble
With 61.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Struble gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Struble's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Struble, see the exposure-zones guide.
