Crozier, AZ
Crozier, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Crozier at the 90th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 30 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crozier at the 86th percentile, close to its 90th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Crozier: 100% of its 30 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Crozier compares
