Separately from the risk score above, Bloomfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Where Bloomfield's buildings actually sit
460 buildings are counted in Bloomfield, and 89.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Bloomfield against the rest of the country
Bloomfield's 92nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 67th ranking inside California does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 25 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bloomfield ranks 2,480 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,050 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 523 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bloomfield
Bloomfield's 92nd-percentile score lands in California, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. California's surplus-lines homeowners market passed 300,000 policies for the first time in 2025, driven by carriers pulling back from wildfire-exposed areas statewide. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Bloomfield (89.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
