Youngtown, AZ
How exposed is Youngtown to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Youngtown at the 47th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 2,397 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Youngtown at the 48th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Youngtown's buildings actually sit
Most of Youngtown's buildings (99.2% of 2,397) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
