Camino, CA
Camino wildfire risk explained
Camino's 971 buildings earn a 99th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Camino at the 98th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Camino's buildings actually sit
971 buildings are counted in Camino, and 56.8% 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.
How Camino compares
Camino scores 99th nationally and 87th within California — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Camino ranks 402 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,139 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 192 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Camino
Camino 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 99th-percentile score like Camino's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
Camino's 56.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
