How Fredonia compares
Inside Arizona, Fredonia sits at just the 32nd percentile even though it scores 68th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Arizona alone, it ranks 302 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fredonia
At the 68th percentile nationally, Fredonia carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 50.1% of Fredonia 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.
More on how this number was built
Fredonia's 68th-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 Fredonia, see the exposure-zones guide.
