Ivanhoe, CA
How exposed is Ivanhoe to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Ivanhoe at the 88th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,526 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ivanhoe's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
Ivanhoe's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 30.6% of Ivanhoe's 1,526 buildings carry Direct exposure and 23.1% carry Indirect; the remaining 46.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Ivanhoe ranks
Ivanhoe's 88th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 56th ranking inside California does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 32 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ivanhoe ranks 3,928 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,055 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 694 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe's 88th-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
Even with 46.3% of Ivanhoe outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Ivanhoe's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Ivanhoe's 3,928-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Ivanhoe's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
