Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glendale (Arapahoe) at the 26th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Glendale (Arapahoe) rates 100% Minimal exposure against just 0% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 374 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Glendale (Arapahoe) gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
