Truxton, AZ
Truxton wildfire risk explained
Truxton's 137 buildings earn a 73rd-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Truxton at the 69th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Truxton's buildings actually sit
73.7% of Truxton's 137 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 26.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Truxton ranks
Inside Arizona, Truxton sits at just the 35th percentile even though it scores 73rd 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, Truxton ranks 8,467 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,389 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 287 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Truxton 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
Truxton's 73.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Truxton's 73rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Truxton, see the exposure-zones guide.
