Woodland Park, CO
Woodland Park, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Woodland Park at the 99th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 3,950 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 Woodland Park at the 99th percentile, close to its 99th-percentile risk score.
Where Woodland Park's buildings actually sit
63.9% of Woodland Park's 3,950 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 2,522 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 36.2% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Woodland Park ranks
Woodland Park's risk sits at a similar level relative to Colorado (99th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (99th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland Park ranks 286 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,291 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 13 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodland Park
At the 99th percentile nationally, Woodland Park carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 63.9% of Woodland Park 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.
Where Woodland Park's figures come from
Woodland Park's 99th-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 Park's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
