Industry, CA
Industry wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Industry lands at the 68th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 2,279 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Industry at the 68th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Industry's buildings actually sit
Most of Industry's buildings (76% of 2,279) 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.
How Industry compares
Industry ranks lower within California (26th percentile statewide) than its 68th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Industry ranks 9,984 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,747 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,168 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Industry and the insurance market
Industry 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 68th-percentile score like Industry's can end up mattering for.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 76% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Industry gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
