Cornville, AZ
How exposed is Cornville to wildfire?
Cornville sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,731 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cornville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 83rd percentile nationally.
Cornville's building exposure, zone by zone
2,731 buildings are counted in Cornville, and 84.9% 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.
Cornville against the rest of the country
Inside Arizona, Cornville sits at just the 48th percentile even though it scores 82nd 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, Cornville ranks 5,724 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,880 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 230 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cornville
Cornville's 82nd-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 84.9% of Cornville 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 Cornville's figures come from
Cornville's 82nd-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 Cornville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
