Florin, CA
Florin, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Florin at the 77th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 15,065 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Florin at the 80th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 3.9% of Florin's 15,065 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 15,065 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Florin compares
Florin's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 37th ranking inside California does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Florin ranks 7,109 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 984 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 996 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Florin
Florin 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 77th-percentile score like Florin's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
Even with 96.1% of Florin outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Florin's figures come from
Florin's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Florin's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
