Bonadelle Ranchos, CA
How exposed is Bonadelle Ranchos to wildfire?
Bonadelle Ranchos sits at the 94th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,192 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bonadelle Ranchos at the 96th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
