Mayflower Village, CA
Mayflower Village, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mayflower Village's 2,684 buildings earn a 48th-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 Mayflower Village at the 51st percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
99.4% of Mayflower Village's 2,684 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 0.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Mayflower Village against the rest of the country
Mayflower Village ranks lower within California (9th percentile statewide) than its 48th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mayflower Village ranks 16,472 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,956 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,427 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mayflower Village
Mayflower 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 48th-percentile score like Mayflower Village's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
Even with 99.4% of Mayflower Village outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Mayflower Village's figures come from
Mayflower Village's 48th-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 Mayflower Village's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
