Chilchinbito, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Chilchinbito's 282 buildings earn a 27th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Chilchinbito at the 20th national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 55% of Chilchinbito's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 22.3% Indirect share and far above its 22.7% Minimal share — a profile where 155 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Chilchinbito compares
Chilchinbito's 27th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 6th ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Chilchinbito ranks 23,153 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,108 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 414 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Chilchinbito's moderate wildfire rating (27th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Chilchinbito's 55% 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.
