Tooleville, CA
Tooleville, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Tooleville at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 109 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tooleville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
Where Tooleville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Tooleville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 109 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
