Kings Valley wildfire risk explained
Kings Valley sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 70 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone.

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kings Valley at the 56th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
