Santa Anna against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Santa Anna's 89th national percentile and its 83rd percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Santa Anna ranks 3,354 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,468 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 314 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Santa Anna
At the 89th percentile nationally, Santa Anna carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Santa Anna (56.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
