Hackberry, AZ
Hackberry, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hackberry at the 86th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 131 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hackberry at the 82nd percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.
Where Hackberry's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Hackberry: 100% of its 131 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Hackberry against the rest of the country
Hackberry's 86th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 58th ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 28 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hackberry ranks 4,369 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,650 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 188 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Hackberry and the insurance market
Hackberry's very high rating (86th 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
Hackberry's 100% 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.
More on how this number was built
Hackberry's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hackberry, see the exposure-zones guide.
