Fields Landing, CA
Fields Landing wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fields Landing lands at the 52nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 182 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fields Landing's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 96.2% of Fields Landing's 182 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 2.8% Direct and 1.1% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Fields Landing against the rest of the country
Inside California, Fields Landing sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 52nd 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, Fields Landing ranks 15,212 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,527 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,384 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fields Landing
Fields Landing sits in California, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. California's FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort, ended 2025 with 668,609 residential policies after adding 21,859 in Q4 alone — the kind of market shift a 52nd-percentile score like Fields Landing's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
Because 96.2% of Fields Landing'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
Fields Landing's 52nd-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 Fields Landing, see the exposure-zones guide.
