Naschitti, NM
Naschitti wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Naschitti lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 145 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Naschitti at the 27th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Naschitti's building exposure, zone by zone
145 buildings are counted in Naschitti, and 89% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Naschitti against the rest of the country
Naschitti's 24th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 1st ranking inside New Mexico does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Naschitti ranks 23,838 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,090 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 491 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Naschitti and the insurance market
Naschitti's moderate wildfire rating (24th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
