Broadmoor, CA
How exposed is Broadmoor to wildfire?
Broadmoor sits at the 49th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,401 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Broadmoor's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 49th percentile nationally.
Broadmoor's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Broadmoor's buildings (95.4% of 1,401) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Broadmoor against the rest of the country
Inside California, Broadmoor sits at just the 10th percentile even though it scores 49th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Broadmoor ranks 16,033 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,625 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,415 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Broadmoor and the insurance market
Broadmoor sits in California, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. California's FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort, ended 2025 with 668,609 residential policies after adding 21,859 in Q4 alone — the kind of market shift a 49th-percentile score like Broadmoor's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
With 95.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Broadmoor gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
