Wyoming wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wyoming at the 30th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 775 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wyoming's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
Where Wyoming's buildings actually sit
Most of Wyoming's buildings (72.5% of 775) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Wyoming ranks
Wyoming scores 30th nationally and 15th within Delaware — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wyoming ranks 22,208 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,864 by building count (1 is largest). Within Delaware alone, it ranks 67 of 79 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Delaware on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wyoming
At the 30th national percentile, Wyoming rates moderate 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 Wyoming
Even with 72.5% of Wyoming outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Wyoming's 30th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Wyoming, see the exposure-zones guide.
