Glenwood, NM
Glenwood, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glenwood sits at the 96th 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 222 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 Glenwood at the 94th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Glenwood's buildings actually sit
Of Glenwood's 222 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Glenwood ranks
Glenwood's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Mexico (88th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (96th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenwood ranks 1,293 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,055 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 60 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Glenwood's very high rating (96th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Glenwood (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Glenwood's figures come from
Glenwood's 96th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glenwood's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
