Lincoln Village, CA
Lincoln Village, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lincoln Village's 1,756 buildings earn a 47th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lincoln Village at the 47th percentile, close to its 47th-percentile risk score.
Where Lincoln Village's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 98.6% of Lincoln Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 1.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Lincoln Village against the rest of the country
Lincoln Village ranks lower within California (9th percentile statewide) than its 47th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lincoln Village ranks 16,849 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,204 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,435 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Lincoln Village sits in California, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. California's FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort, ended 2025 with 668,609 residential policies after adding 21,859 in Q4 alone — the kind of market shift a 47th-percentile score like Lincoln Village's can end up mattering for.

With 98.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lincoln Village gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Lincoln Village's figures come from
Lincoln Village's 47th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lincoln Village's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
