Woodbine, IA
How exposed is Woodbine to wildfire?
Woodbine sits at the 56th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 953 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodbine at the 54th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Woodbine rates 84.5% Minimal exposure against just 15.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 953 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Woodbine against the rest of the country
Woodbine's 78th-percentile standing inside Iowa outpaces its 56th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodbine ranks 13,734 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,286 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 229 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 56th national percentile, Woodbine rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Woodbine
With 84.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Woodbine gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
