Many Farms, AZ
Many Farms wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Many Farms at the 19th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 658 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Many Farms at the 23rd national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Many Farms's buildings actually sit
50.6% of Many Farms's 658 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 49.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Many Farms against the rest of the country
Many Farms ranks lower within Arizona (2nd percentile statewide) than its 19th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Many Farms ranks 25,612 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,083 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 432 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
Many Farms's low rating (19th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Many Farms (50.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
