Wyndham, VA
How exposed is Wyndham to wildfire?
Wyndham sits at the 32nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,577 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 Wyndham at the 33rd percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
Wyndham's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 72.1% of Wyndham's 3,577 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 25.2% Direct and 2.7% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Wyndham against the rest of the country
Wyndham scores 32nd nationally and 22nd within Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wyndham ranks 21,509 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,683 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 535 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wyndham
Wyndham's moderate wildfire rating (32nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wyndham (72.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Wyndham's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Wyndham, see the exposure-zones guide.
