Camino Tassajara, CA
How exposed is Camino Tassajara to wildfire?
Camino Tassajara sits at the 95th 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 1,319 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Camino Tassajara at the 96th percentile, close to its 95th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Camino Tassajara (90.1% of 1,319 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 9.9% sit in the Direct zone.

What this risk score means for insurance
Camino Tassajara's 95th-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Camino Tassajara's 90.1% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Camino Tassajara's figures come from
