Cedro, NM
Cedro, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cedro's 289 buildings earn a 96th-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 Cedro at the 93rd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Cedro's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Cedro's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 289 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Cedro compares
There's little gap between Cedro's 96th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside New Mexico, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedro ranks 1,418 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,947 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 66 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cedro
Cedro's very high rating (96th 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.
Hardening a home in Cedro
With 100% of Cedro 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.
Where Cedro's figures come from
Cedro's 96th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Cedro's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
