Collierville, CA
Collierville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Collierville at the 62nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,490 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Collierville at the 64th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Where Collierville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 79.7% of Collierville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 3% Indirect share and far above its 17.4% Minimal share — a profile where 1,187 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Collierville compares
Collierville ranks lower within California (20th percentile statewide) than its 62nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Collierville ranks 12,028 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,209 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,261 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Because Collierville 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 Collierville
With 79.7% of Collierville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Collierville's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Collierville, see the exposure-zones guide.
