Ehrenberg, AZ
Ehrenberg wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ehrenberg lands at the 57th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 964 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ehrenberg at the 56th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Ehrenberg's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Ehrenberg (67.4% of 964 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 29.4% sit in the Direct zone.
