Cane Beds, AZ
Cane Beds wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cane Beds lands at the 78th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 317 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cane Beds's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 73rd percentile nationally.
Where Cane Beds's buildings actually sit
100% of Cane Beds's 317 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 317 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Cane Beds compares

Cane Beds and the insurance market
Cane Beds's high rating (78th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Cane Beds in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
