Roosevelt Estates, AZ
Roosevelt Estates, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Roosevelt Estates at the 93rd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 828 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roosevelt Estates's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 92nd percentile nationally.
Where Roosevelt Estates's buildings actually sit
828 buildings are counted in Roosevelt Estates, and 71.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 28.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Roosevelt Estates against the rest of the country
Roosevelt Estates ranks lower within Arizona (71st percentile statewide) than its 93rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roosevelt Estates ranks 2,164 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,362 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 131 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
Roosevelt Estates's 93rd-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Roosevelt Estates
Roosevelt Estates's 71.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Roosevelt Estates's 93rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Roosevelt Estates, see the exposure-zones guide.
