Inglewood, CA
Inglewood, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Inglewood at the 46th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 28,784 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Inglewood at the 49th percentile, close to its 46th-percentile risk score.
Where Inglewood's buildings actually sit
Inglewood rates 99.8% Minimal exposure against just 0.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 28,784 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 28,784 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Inglewood compares
Inside California, Inglewood sits at just the 8th percentile even though it scores 46th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Inglewood ranks 17,165 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 411 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,446 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Inglewood
Inglewood's 46th-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
Inglewood's 99.8% 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.
