Leupp, AZ
Leupp wildfire risk explained
Leupp's 406 buildings earn a 45th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leupp at the 47th percentile, close to its 45th-percentile risk score.
Leupp's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Leupp's 406 counted buildings, 51.2% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Leupp against the rest of the country
Inside Arizona, Leupp sits at just the 14th percentile even though it scores 45th 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, Leupp ranks 17,322 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,093 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 379 of 441 places by risk.
