Strategic Assessment

Overall Strategic Grade
D
Vulnerable

Multiple tactical vulnerabilities. Population density, target proximity, or disaster risk are likely compounding. A retreat property and exit planning is required.

What does this tell us?

Our Strategic Assessment grades tactical survivability of an area. Major population centers, military targets, fallout zones, natural disasters, and border exposure all drive risk — lower exposure means a more defensible position in a crisis.

This is heavily inspired by Joel Skousen's Strategic Relocation book. Highly recommended you checkout the book ($)

Regional Safe Places

Below is our recommended "safe zones" in Arizona  and the surrounding area based on our strategic heuristics. For most people, it's unrealistic to live in a “safe zone” full-time due to work, family or other personal reasons. They tend to be more rural. However, many of these areas are perfect for second homes and retreat properties that double as a vacation home or even a short-term rental.

Safe Spaces map for the Arizona showing strategic features around Arizona — military bases, dangers, federal highways, population centers, and computed safe areas.

Important Note: For informational purposes only. This does not mean nothing bad ever happens in the green zones. Please use common sense. This is based on public data and modeled with AI. We tried to take a conservative approach but mistakes happen. We update this regularly as new information becomes available.

The Strategy: Plan a Retreat

This property is outside our identified safe zones, but the nearest one is roughly 98 miles north. We recommend a retreat property — a cabin or second home — inside that safe area, plus a tested plan and stocked vehicle to get there in case of an emergency.

Important Note: Always verify information with official sources and consult with professionals for personalized advice based on your risk profile.
