Very High
84thpercentile nationally

Foxworth 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 444 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Foxworth's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 86th percentile nationally.
