Ducor, CA
Ducor, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ducor's 245 buildings earn a 91st-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ducor's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 93rd percentile nationally.
Ducor's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Ducor's buildings (68.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Ducor compares
Inside California, Ducor sits at just the 64th percentile even though it scores 91st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ducor ranks 2,854 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,284 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 570 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 Ducor 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 68.6% of Ducor'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.
