Turin, IA
Turin, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Turin's 74 buildings earn a 76th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Turin at the 73rd percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.
Turin's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Turin's buildings (83.8%) 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.
How Turin compares
Turin's 98th-percentile standing inside Iowa outpaces its 76th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Turin ranks 7,630 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,127 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 21 of 1,017 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Turin
Turin's high rating (76th 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.
Hardening a home in Turin
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Turin (83.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
