13,000 Homes at Risk from Washington Chelan Wildfire

Residential News » United States Edition | By WPJ Staff | August 27, 2015 8:30 AM ET



According to CoreLogic's hazard risk analysis, a total of 13,121 homes with a combined reconstruction cost of more than $3 billion are at some level of risk from the Chelan Wildfire.

Washington zip codes at risk:
98812     98813     98816     98831
98834     98843     98846     98858

Of that total, 634 homes, or 5 percent, with a total reconstruction cost of more than $198 million are at "Maximum Risk" or "Moderately High Risk" of damage. Although the majority of homes, 12,156, or 93 percent, are at "Minimal Risk" of damage, wildfire can easily expand to adjacent properties and cause significant damage even if the property is not considered high risk in its own right.

The table below shows the risk levels for all of the homes in these eight zip codes based on the CoreLogic Wildfire Risk Score. This score indicates the level of susceptibility to wildfire damage and includes the risk associated with the property being located in close proximity to other high-risk properties or areas. The higher the score, the greater the risk of damage.
