Vicksburg, AZ
How exposed is Vicksburg to wildfire?
Vicksburg sits at the 43rd 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 743 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Vicksburg at the 42nd percentile, close to its 43rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
743 buildings are counted in Vicksburg, and 76.3% 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.
Where Vicksburg ranks
Vicksburg ranks lower within Arizona (13th percentile statewide) than its 43rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Vicksburg ranks 18,111 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,189 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 384 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
Vicksburg's elevated wildfire rating (43rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Vicksburg's 76.3% 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.
