La Vina, CA
La Vina wildfire risk explained
La Vina's 168 buildings earn a 71st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, La Vina's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 70th percentile nationally.
La Vina's building exposure, zone by zone
67.9% of La Vina's 168 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 32.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
La Vina against the rest of the country
La Vina's 71st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 28th ranking inside California does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 42 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, La Vina ranks 9,222 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,091 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,125 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
La Vina and the insurance market
La Vina's 71st-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.
Hardening a home in La Vina
La Vina's 67.9% 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.
