Canjilon, NM
Canjilon, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Canjilon's 305 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Canjilon at the 90th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Canjilon's building exposure, zone by zone
94.1% of Canjilon's 305 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 287 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 5.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Canjilon against the rest of the country
Canjilon scores 94th nationally and 82nd within New Mexico — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Canjilon ranks 1,955 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,507 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 90 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Canjilon
At the 94th percentile nationally, Canjilon 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Canjilon's 94.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Canjilon's 94th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Canjilon, see the exposure-zones guide.
