Cedarville, CA
Cedarville, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Cedarville at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 597 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cedarville at the 91st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Cedarville's buildings actually sit
597 buildings are counted in Cedarville, and 67.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 32.8% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Cedarville ranks
Cedarville's 91st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 64th ranking inside California does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 27 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedarville ranks 2,762 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,877 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 560 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cedarville
Cedarville's 91st-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 67.2% of Cedarville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Cedarville's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Cedarville, see the exposure-zones guide.
