Grenville, NM
Grenville, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Grenville at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 34 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grenville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 93rd percentile nationally.
Grenville's building exposure, zone by zone
34 buildings are counted in Grenville, and 94.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Grenville ranks
Grenville's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Mexico (82nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (94th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grenville ranks 1,956 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,296 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 91 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Grenville and the insurance market
Grenville's very high rating (94th 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
With 94.1% of Grenville 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.
Where Grenville's figures come from
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 34 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Grenville. The exposure-zones guide covers what Grenville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
