Tonyville, CA
Tonyville wildfire risk explained
Tonyville's 104 buildings earn a 85th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tonyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
Where Tonyville's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 70.2% of Tonyville's 104 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 29.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Tonyville against the rest of the country
Inside California, Tonyville sits at just the 49th percentile even though it scores 85th 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, Tonyville ranks 4,844 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 799 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
Tonyville's 85th-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.
Hardening a home in Tonyville
Because 70.2% of Tonyville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Tonyville's figures come from
Tonyville's 85th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tonyville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
