Corona, NM
Corona, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Corona's 229 buildings earn a 88th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corona's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 83rd percentile nationally.
Corona's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Corona's 229 counted buildings, 70.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Corona against the rest of the country
Inside New Mexico, Corona sits at just the 69th percentile even though it scores 88th 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, Corona ranks 3,909 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,825 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 152 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Corona and the insurance market
At the 88th percentile nationally, Corona 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.
Hardening a home in Corona
Because Direct exposure dominates in Corona (70.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
