Nazlini, AZ
Nazlini wildfire risk explained
Nazlini's 184 buildings earn a 46th-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 Nazlini at the 42nd percentile, close to its 46th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Nazlini's 184 counted buildings, 100% 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.
Nazlini against the rest of the country
Nazlini's 46th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 15th ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Nazlini ranks 16,975 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,446 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 376 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Nazlini
Nazlini's elevated wildfire rating (46th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Nazlini's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
