Winslow, AZ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
38thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Winslow at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 3,910 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Winslow at the 39th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.

Where Winslow's buildings actually sit

3,910Total buildings
9.5%Direct exposure
90.5%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

USFS puts 90.5% of Winslow's 3,910 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 9.5% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.

Winslow against the rest of the country

Inside Arizona, Winslow sits at just the 11th percentile even though it scores 38th 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, Winslow ranks 19,434 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,329 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 392 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 38th national percentile, Winslow rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Winslow (90.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

Where Winslow's figures come from

Winslow's 38th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Winslow's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
