Teton, ID
Teton wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Teton at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 460 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Teton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 6th percentile nationally.
Teton's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Teton's buildings (64.6% of 460) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Teton against the rest of the country
Teton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Idaho (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (6th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Teton ranks 29,488 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,052 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 230 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Teton and the insurance market
Teton's low rating (6th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 64.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Teton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Teton's 29,488-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Teton, see the exposure-zones guide.
