Logan, NM
Logan, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Logan at the 76th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,964 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Logan at the 74th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Logan (70.9% of 1,964 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 29% sit in the Direct zone.
How Logan compares
Inside New Mexico, Logan sits at just the 48th percentile even though it scores 76th 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, Logan ranks 7,506 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,578 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 257 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Logan and the insurance market
Logan's 76th-percentile, 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Logan (70.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Logan's 76th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Logan, see the exposure-zones guide.
