Springville, CA
How exposed is Springville to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Springville at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 645 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Springville at the 95th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Springville's building exposure, zone by zone
57.4% of Springville's 645 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 370 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Springville ranks
Inside California, Springville sits at just the 72nd percentile even though it scores 94th 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, Springville ranks 1,787 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,257 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 439 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
Springville 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 94th-percentile score like Springville's can end up mattering for.
