Lemoore Station, CA
Lemoore Station, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lemoore Station at the 80th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,127 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lemoore Station at the 81st percentile, close to its 80th-percentile risk score.
Where Lemoore Station's buildings actually sit
Most of Lemoore Station's buildings (90.1%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Lemoore Station ranks
Inside California, Lemoore Station sits at just the 41st percentile even though it scores 80th 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, Lemoore Station ranks 6,325 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,098 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 934 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Lemoore Station and the insurance market
Because Lemoore Station is in California, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. The state's FAIR Plan alone carried 668,609 policies by the end of 2025. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lemoore Station (90.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Lemoore Station's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lemoore Station, see the exposure-zones guide.
