Urie, WY
How exposed is Urie to wildfire?
Urie sits at the 71st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 206 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Urie's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 70th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
206 buildings are counted in Urie, and 69.9% 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.
Urie against the rest of the country
Urie's 71st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 31st ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 39 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Urie ranks 9,189 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,653 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 132 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Urie
Urie's high rating (71st 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 Urie
With 69.9% of Urie 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.
More on how this number was built
Urie's 71st-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 Urie, see the exposure-zones guide.
