How the map is built

Start from every building

Overture Maps building footprints cover Colorado statewide: 2,771,126 buildings across 64 counties.

Score five perils

Each building gets wildfire, hail, flood and wind scores from USFS Wildfire Risk to Communities and FEMA data, plus the road distance to the nearest fire department, routed with HERE.

Roll up to parcels and hexagons

Buildings roll up to Regrid parcels and 24,868 H3 hexagons, so the map reads from county level down to a single roof.

Read it as a screen

Each score is a screening tier for where to look. It is not a loss estimate or an insurability decision.
