Green Acres, CA
Green Acres, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Green Acres at the 92nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,155 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Green Acres at the 93rd percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,155 buildings are counted in Green Acres, and 56.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Green Acres against the rest of the country
Green Acres ranks lower within California (67th percentile statewide) than its 92nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Green Acres ranks 2,481 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,913 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 524 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
Green Acres's 92nd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Green Acres (56.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Green Acres's 92nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Green Acres, see the exposure-zones guide.
