Victor, ID
How exposed is Victor to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Victor lands at the 86th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 910 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Victor at the 83rd national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Victor's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Victor: 82.2% of its 910 buildings, versus 17.8% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Victor compares
Victor's 86th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 57th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Victor ranks 4,572 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,634 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 101 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Victor
Victor's very high rating (86th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 82.2% of Victor 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.
