Dixonville against the rest of the country

Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dixonville ranks 4,750 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,370 by building count (1 is largest).

What this risk score means for insurance
Dixonville's 85th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
