Tyhee, ID
How exposed is Tyhee to wildfire?
Tyhee's 774 buildings earn a 86th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band 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 Tyhee at the 84th percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.
Where Tyhee's buildings actually sit
Of Tyhee's 774 counted buildings, 69.9% carry Direct exposure and only 24.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Tyhee ranks
Tyhee ranks lower within Idaho (58th percentile statewide) than its 86th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tyhee ranks 4,280 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,877 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 97 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Tyhee and the insurance market
At the 86th percentile nationally, Tyhee 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
With 69.9% of Tyhee in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Tyhee's 4,280-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Tyhee, see the exposure-zones guide.
