Beverly Hills wildfire risk explained

High
67thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Beverly Hills at the 67th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 5,036 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Beverly Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.

Beverly Hills's building exposure, zone by zone

5,036Total buildings
3%Direct exposure
55.7%Indirect exposure
41.3%Minimal exposure

5,036 buildings are counted in Beverly Hills, and 55.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 3% in Direct exposure or the 41.3% rated Minimal. At 5,036 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
