Arizona Village, AZ
Arizona Village, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Arizona Village at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 620 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Arizona Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Where Arizona Village's buildings actually sit
Most of Arizona Village's buildings (91.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Arizona Village against the rest of the country
Arizona Village's 69th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 33rd ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 36 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Arizona Village ranks 9,757 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,553 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 298 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Arizona Village's 69th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Arizona Village's 91.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
