Separately from the risk score above, Beclabito's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
Beclabito's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Beclabito's 208 counted buildings, 76.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Beclabito ranks
Beclabito's 58th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 28th ranking inside New Mexico does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Beclabito ranks 13,119 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,565 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 356 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Beclabito and the insurance market
Beclabito's elevated rating (58th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Beclabito (76.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
