Goodyear Village, AZ
How exposed is Goodyear Village to wildfire?
USFS scores Goodyear Village at the 77th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 158 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Goodyear Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Goodyear Village's 158 counted buildings, 82.9% 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.
How Goodyear Village compares
Goodyear Village's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 39th ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Goodyear Village ranks 7,141 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,514 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 270 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Goodyear Village's 77th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 82.9% of Goodyear Village 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.
