USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Copper Hill at the 92nd percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Copper Hill's buildings actually sit
116 buildings are counted in Copper Hill, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Copper Hill ranks
Inside Arizona, Copper Hill sits at just the 72nd percentile even though it scores 94th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Copper Hill ranks 2,005 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,342 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 126 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
At the 94th percentile nationally, Copper Hill 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.
