Long Barn, CA
Long Barn, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Long Barn sits at the 100th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 398 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Long Barn at the 100th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Long Barn's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Long Barn: 92.5% of its 398 buildings, versus 7.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Long Barn against the rest of the country
Long Barn scores 100th nationally and 98th within California — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Long Barn ranks 63 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,242 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 40 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
Long Barn's 100th-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 Long Barn
Because Direct exposure dominates in Long Barn (92.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Long Barn's 100th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Long Barn, see the exposure-zones guide.
