Huntington Park, CA
How exposed is Huntington Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Huntington Park lands at the 14th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 11,107 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Huntington Park at the 16th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
Where Huntington Park's buildings actually sit
Most of Huntington Park's buildings (100% of 11,107) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 11,107 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Huntington Park against the rest of the country
Huntington Park scores 14th nationally and 1st within California — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntington Park ranks 26,998 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,429 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,556 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Huntington Park and the insurance market
Huntington Park 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 14th-percentile score like Huntington Park's can end up mattering for.

Huntington Park's 100% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
