Santo Domingo Pueblo, NM's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Santo Domingo Pueblo's 418 buildings earn a 65th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Santo Domingo Pueblo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Santo Domingo Pueblo's 418 counted buildings, 51.9% 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.
How Santo Domingo Pueblo compares
Inside New Mexico, Santo Domingo Pueblo sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 65th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Santo Domingo Pueblo ranks 11,029 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,861 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Mexico alone, it ranks 318 of 495 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Mexico on its state page.
Santo Domingo Pueblo and the insurance market
At the 65th percentile nationally, Santo Domingo Pueblo carries the 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 Santo Domingo Pueblo (51.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Santo Domingo Pueblo's 65th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Santo Domingo Pueblo, see the exposure-zones guide.
