Crownpoint, NM
Crownpoint, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Crownpoint's 1,318 buildings earn a 24th-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 Crownpoint at the 23rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Crownpoint's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 72.2% of Crownpoint's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 27.8% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 952 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Crownpoint compares
Inside New Mexico, Crownpoint sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 24th 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, Crownpoint ranks 23,990 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,981 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 492 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 24th national percentile, Crownpoint rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Crownpoint
Because Direct exposure dominates in Crownpoint (72.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Crownpoint's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Crownpoint, see the exposure-zones guide.
