Woodmoor, CO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
97thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Woodmoor at the 97th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 3,492 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodmoor at the 97th percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.

How Woodmoor compares

There's little gap between Woodmoor's 97th national percentile and its 88th percentile inside Colorado, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodmoor ranks 941 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,779 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 58 of 472 places by risk.

Woodmoor and the insurance market

At the 97th percentile nationally, Woodmoor 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

Because Direct exposure dominates in Woodmoor (84.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.

Where Woodmoor's figures come from

Woodmoor's 97th-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 Woodmoor's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
