Woodland, ME
Woodland, ME's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodland's 805 buildings earn a 17th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodland at the 16th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Woodland's building exposure, zone by zone
805 buildings are counted in Woodland, and 73.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 26.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Woodland ranks
Within Maine, Woodland ranks higher (78th percentile) than it does nationally (17th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland ranks 26,313 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,588 by building count (1 is largest). Within Maine alone, it ranks 38 of 155 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Woodland
Woodland's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Woodland (73.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Woodland's figures come from
Woodland's 17th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Woodland's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
