Ono, CA
Ono, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Ono at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 90 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ono's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
Where Ono's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Ono's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 90 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Ono compares
There's little gap between Ono's 98th national percentile and its 85th percentile inside California, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ono ranks 534 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,484 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 235 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ono
Because Ono 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Ono's 100% 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.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Ono's 534-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Ono, see the exposure-zones guide.
