Homes in the wildland-urban interface

About 47% of Arizona’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 1.5 million of 3.1 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 31% in Phoenix’s Maricopa County to about 94% in Yavapai County.

The five Arizona counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:

  • Maricopa Countyabout 566,000 homes
  • Pima Countyabout 275,000 homes
  • Pinal Countyabout 129,000 homes
  • Yavapai Countyabout 114,000 homes
  • Mohave Countyabout 102,000 homes

Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
