Frazier Park, CA
How exposed is Frazier Park to wildfire?
Frazier Park sits at the 100th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,561 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Frazier Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
Where Frazier Park's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Frazier Park (80.8% of 1,561 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 19.2% sit in the Direct zone.
How Frazier Park compares
Frazier Park's risk sits at a similar level relative to California (97th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (100th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Frazier Park ranks 90 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,917 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 54 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Frazier Park and the insurance market
Frazier Park's 100th-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
Frazier Park's 80.8% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Frazier Park's figures come from
Frazier Park's 100th-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 Frazier Park's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
