Wilson, WY
How exposed is Wilson to wildfire?
USFS scores Wilson at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,252 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wilson at the 90th percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
Wilson's building exposure, zone by zone
1,252 buildings are counted in Wilson, and 93.5% 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.
How Wilson compares
Wilson's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wyoming (94th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (91st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wilson ranks 2,948 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,341 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 13 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wilson
Wilson's very high rating (91st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 93.5% of Wilson 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
Every one of the two percentiles behind Wilson's 2,948-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Wilson, see the exposure-zones guide.
