Klagetoh, AZ
How exposed is Klagetoh to wildfire?
Klagetoh's 98 buildings earn a 55th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Klagetoh at the 48th national percentile — 7 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Klagetoh's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Klagetoh's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 98 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Klagetoh against the rest of the country
Inside Arizona, Klagetoh sits at just the 22nd percentile even though it scores 55th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Klagetoh ranks 14,267 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,110 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 343 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
At the 55th national percentile, Klagetoh rates elevated 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
With 100% of Klagetoh 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.
