Lompico, CA
Lompico wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lompico lands at the 76th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 387 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lompico at the 77th percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.
Lompico's building exposure, zone by zone
81.1% of Lompico's 387 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 314 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 18.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Lompico ranks
Inside California, Lompico sits at just the 34th percentile even though it scores 76th 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, Lompico ranks 7,713 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,461 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,040 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
Because Lompico 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
Lompico's 81.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
