Yarrow Point, WA
Yarrow Point, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Yarrow Point at the 6th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 496 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Yarrow Point at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 7.1% of Yarrow Point's 496 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 92.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Yarrow Point against the rest of the country
Yarrow Point's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (2nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (6th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yarrow Point ranks 29,801 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,432 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 615 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Yarrow Point and the insurance market
Yarrow Point's low rating (6th 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 92.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Yarrow Point gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
