East Tulare Villa, CA
East Tulare Villa, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores East Tulare Villa at the 60th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 302 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks East Tulare Villa at the 62nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
East Tulare Villa's building exposure, zone by zone
Of East Tulare Villa's 302 counted buildings, 74.8% carry Direct exposure and only 25.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

What this risk score means for insurance
East Tulare Villa's 60th-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
East Tulare Villa's 74.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
