Sun Village, CA
How exposed is Sun Village to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Sun Village at the 63rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 5,804 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sun Village at the 60th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Sun Village's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Sun Village's 5,804 counted buildings, 89.6% carry Direct exposure and only 10.4% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 5,804 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Sun Village and the insurance market
Sun Village's 63rd-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.
