Littlerock, CA
How exposed is Littlerock to wildfire?
Littlerock sits at the 78th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 809 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Littlerock at the 73rd national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Littlerock's building exposure, zone by zone
72.8% of Littlerock's 809 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 589 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 27.1% are Minimal.
