Las Campanas, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
84thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Las Campanas at the 84th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,033 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Las Campanas at the 80th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

1,033Total buildings
100%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 100% of Las Campanas's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,033 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

How Las Campanas compares

Inside New Mexico, Las Campanas sits at just the 60th percentile even though it scores 84th 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, Las Campanas ranks 5,044 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,705 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 197 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Las Campanas

Las Campanas's 84th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because Direct exposure dominates in Las Campanas (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
