How exposed is Wildersville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wildersville lands at the 51st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 126 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wildersville at the 53rd percentile, close to its 51st-percentile risk score.
