Twin Hills, AK
Twin Hills, AK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Twin Hills sits at the 48th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 77 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Twin Hills at the 51st percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
Where Twin Hills's buildings actually sit
77 buildings are counted in Twin Hills, and 97.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.6% rated Minimal.
Where Twin Hills ranks
There's little gap between Twin Hills's 48th national percentile and its 38th percentile inside Alaska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Twin Hills ranks 16,378 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,996 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alaska alone, it ranks 199 of 322 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alaska on its state page.
Twin Hills and the insurance market
Twin Hills's elevated rating (48th 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
Twin Hills's 97.4% 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.
