Regina, NM
Regina wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Regina lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 169 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Regina at the 87th percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
Regina's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Regina: 100% of its 169 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Regina against the rest of the country
Regina scores 91st nationally and 79th within New Mexico — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Regina ranks 2,737 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,076 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 107 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Regina
At the 91st percentile nationally, Regina 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Regina (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Regina's figures come from
Regina's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Regina's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
