Holbrook, AZ
Holbrook, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Holbrook at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,549 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 Holbrook at the 27th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
82.6% of Holbrook's 2,549 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 17.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Holbrook ranks
Holbrook ranks lower within Arizona (5th percentile statewide) than its 25th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Holbrook ranks 23,531 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,201 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 419 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Holbrook
At the 25th national percentile, Holbrook rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Holbrook's 82.6% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
