Beyerville, AZ
Beyerville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Beyerville at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 78 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Beyerville at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Beyerville's 78 counted buildings, 100% 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.
Beyerville against the rest of the country
Beyerville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arizona (86th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Beyerville ranks 712 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,954 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 62 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Beyerville and the insurance market
At the 98th percentile nationally, Beyerville carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Beyerville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Beyerville (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
