Pine, AZ
Pine, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pine sits at the 100th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,304 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Pine at the 100th percentile, close to its 100th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Pine: 76.8% of its 2,304 buildings, versus 23.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Pine against the rest of the country
Pine scores 100th nationally and 98th within Arizona — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pine ranks 82 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,692 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 9 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pine
At the 100th percentile nationally, Pine carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Pine
Pine's 76.8% 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.
Where Pine's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Pine's 82-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Pine's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
