The near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 initially appeared to pose a non-negligible collision threat on Earth. This brief communication analyzes its collision risk, beginning with comparing orbit determination results from multiple sources. We examine how observation arc length and the Yarkovsky effect influence impact probability estimates. Finally, we propose incorporating population distribution into the risk assessment to improve its practical relevance.
