Sierra Vista Southeast, AZ
Sierra Vista Southeast, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Sierra Vista Southeast at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 9,777 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Sierra Vista Southeast's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
Where Sierra Vista Southeast's buildings actually sit
Of Sierra Vista Southeast's 9,777 counted buildings, 94.8% 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. At 9,777 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

What would actually reduce this score
