Rocklin, CA
Rocklin, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rocklin's 22,697 buildings earn a 80th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm 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 Rocklin at the 80th percentile, close to its 80th-percentile risk score.
Rocklin's building exposure, zone by zone
22,697 buildings are counted in Rocklin, and 61% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 9.4% in Direct exposure or the 29.6% rated Minimal. At 22,697 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Rocklin against the rest of the country
Inside California, Rocklin sits at just the 40th percentile even though it scores 80th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rocklin ranks 6,393 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 585 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 941 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rocklin
Rocklin 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 80th-percentile score like Rocklin's can end up mattering for.
