Cambrian Park, CA
How exposed is Cambrian Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cambrian Park lands at the 79th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,645 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cambrian Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.
Cambrian Park's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 98.5% of Cambrian Park's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 1.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Cambrian Park against the rest of the country
Inside California, Cambrian Park sits at just the 38th percentile even though it scores 79th 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, Cambrian Park ranks 6,645 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,603 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 965 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Cambrian Park and the insurance market
Because Cambrian Park is in California, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. The state's FAIR Plan alone carried 668,609 policies by the end of 2025. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
Hardening a home in Cambrian Park
Even with 98.5% of Cambrian Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Cambrian Park's figures come from
Cambrian Park's 79th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Cambrian Park's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
