Tokeland, WA
Tokeland wildfire risk explained
Tokeland's 252 buildings earn a 15th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places 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 Tokeland at the 14th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
Tokeland's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 11.1% of Tokeland's 252 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 88.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Tokeland compares
Tokeland scores 15th nationally and 20th 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, Tokeland ranks 26,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,090 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 509 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tokeland
Tokeland's low wildfire rating (15th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 88.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Tokeland gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
