Woodruff, AZ
Woodruff wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Woodruff at the 29th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 173 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodruff at the 31st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Woodruff's building exposure, zone by zone
173 buildings are counted in Woodruff, and 76.9% 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.
Woodruff against the rest of the country
Woodruff's 29th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 8th ranking inside Arizona does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 21 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodruff ranks 22,365 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,883 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arizona alone, it ranks 407 of 441 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arizona on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodruff
Woodruff's moderate wildfire rating (29th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Woodruff (76.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Woodruff's 29th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodruff, see the exposure-zones guide.
