Dudleyville, AZ
How exposed is Dudleyville to wildfire?
Dudleyville sits at the 84th 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 574 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dudleyville at the 86th percentile, close to its 84th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
81.2% of Dudleyville's 574 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 466 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 18.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Dudleyville ranks
Dudleyville ranks lower within Arizona (52nd percentile statewide) than its 84th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Within Arizona alone, it ranks 213 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Dudleyville and the insurance market
Dudleyville's very high rating (84th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 81.2% of Dudleyville 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.
