Glorieta, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glorieta's 450 buildings earn a 97th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glorieta at the 93rd percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.
Glorieta's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Glorieta's 450 counted buildings, 87.1% 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.
Glorieta against the rest of the country
Glorieta scores 97th nationally and 92nd within New Mexico — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glorieta ranks 888 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,278 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 39 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Glorieta and the insurance market
At the 97th percentile nationally, Glorieta carries the very 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
Glorieta's 87.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Glorieta's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Glorieta's 888-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glorieta's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
