Wyoming is the U.S. state most at risk for wildfire-related property loss. As of 2021, it is estimated that 0.29 percent of total housing units could burn at least once over a 50-year time period. California, the state regularly recording the highest number of acres burned due to wildfires in the U.S., was not among the most at-risk states listed here, as it has a significantly larger housing stock than its neighbors.
