Stotonic Village, AZ
Stotonic Village wildfire risk explained
Stotonic Village sits at the 81st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 260 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stotonic Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
Where Stotonic Village's buildings actually sit
83.5% of Stotonic Village's 260 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 217 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 16.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Stotonic Village ranks

Within Arizona alone, it ranks 244 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Stotonic Village and the insurance market
At the 81st percentile nationally, Stotonic Village 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.
Hardening a home in Stotonic Village
