This is a farming and mining region with older homes, rural properties and long distances between towns.
Climate and water damage
Hot summers with monsoon storms and cool winters with regular freezes, at around 3,000 to 4,000 feet in the valley.
Housing
Older homes in Safford, Thatcher and Clifton, many manufactured homes, and rural properties on wells and septic. Some Clifton homes sit close to the San Francisco River.
U.S. 70 and U.S. 191 connect the towns, and the Morenci mine is one of the largest copper mines in North America, which shapes housing in Clifton and Morenci. Travel from larger cities is long, so it pays to know your shutoffs and document damage carefully while you wait. Freezes and monsoon storms are the main seasonal risks.

Winter freezes
Exposed pipes and well lines freeze in rural homes during cold snaps.
