Summitview, WA
Summitview wildfire risk explained
Summitview's 1,274 buildings earn a 96th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Summitview at the 97th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Summitview's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 95.1% of Summitview's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 3.9% Indirect share and far above its 1% Minimal share — a profile where 1,212 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Summitview against the rest of the country
Summitview scores 96th nationally and 89th within Washington — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Summitview ranks 1,372 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,233 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 73 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Summitview and the insurance market
Summitview's very high rating (96th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Summitview's 95.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Summitview's 96th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Summitview, see the exposure-zones guide.
