Turnerville, WY
Turnerville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Turnerville at the 87th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 301 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Turnerville at the 85th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Turnerville's building exposure, zone by zone
301 buildings are counted in Turnerville, and 91.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Turnerville compares
Turnerville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wyoming (76th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Turnerville ranks 4,240 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,619 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 46 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Turnerville and the insurance market
At the 87th percentile nationally, Turnerville carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Turnerville (91.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Turnerville's 87th-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 Turnerville, see the exposure-zones guide.
