Kaibito, AZ
How exposed is Kaibito to wildfire?
Kaibito sits at the 16th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 547 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Kaibito at the 18th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
Kaibito's building exposure, zone by zone
547 buildings are counted in Kaibito, and 99.1% 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.
Kaibito against the rest of the country
Kaibito's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arizona (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (16th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Arizona alone, it ranks 436 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kaibito
Kaibito's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 99.1% of Kaibito 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 Kaibito's figures come from
Kaibito's 16th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Kaibito's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
