Meyers, CA
Meyers, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Meyers at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,563 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Meyers at the 87th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Meyers's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 54.6% of Meyers's 1,563 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 45.4% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Meyers against the rest of the country
Meyers ranks lower within California (57th percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Meyers ranks 3,712 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,908 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 674 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Meyers
Meyers 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 88th-percentile score like Meyers's can end up mattering for.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Meyers's 54.6% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Meyers's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Meyers's 3,712-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Meyers's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
