Seven Mile, AZ
Seven Mile, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Seven Mile at the 99th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 217 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Seven Mile at the 97th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Seven Mile's 217 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 217 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Seven Mile against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Seven Mile's 99th national percentile and its 93rd percentile inside Arizona, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seven Mile ranks 429 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,226 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 32 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Seven Mile and the insurance market
Seven Mile's 99th-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 Seven Mile
Seven Mile'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.
