Teec Nos Pos, AZ
Teec Nos Pos, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Teec Nos Pos sits at the 59th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 307 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Teec Nos Pos at the 54th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Teec Nos Pos's buildings actually sit
307 buildings are counted in Teec Nos Pos, and 79.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.

What would actually reduce this score
With 79.5% of Teec Nos Pos in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
