Rising rates of wildfire building destruction in the conterminous United States.

Notably, the annual trend in buildings exposed to destructive wildfires was positive (517 buildings/year) but only weakly significant ( P = 0.085; Table 1 ), as building exposure in 2003 and 2007 was comparable to more recent highly destructive years in 2017, 2018, and 2020 ( Fig. 1 B ).

We did not observe a significant trend in numbers of exposed or destroyed buildings in the Eastern Forests and found that average ERC of destructive fires decreased over time, coincident with climate change-driven precipitation increases ( 45 ).
