Oak Glen, CA
Oak Glen, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Oak Glen lands at the 99th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 509 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oak Glen's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Oak Glen's 509 counted buildings, 97.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Oak Glen ranks
There's little gap between Oak Glen's 99th national percentile and its 89th percentile inside California, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oak Glen ranks 372 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,183 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 183 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
Oak Glen's 99th-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 Oak Glen
With 97.1% of Oak Glen in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Oak Glen's 99th-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 Oak Glen, see the exposure-zones guide.
