Walnut Park, CA
Walnut Park, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Walnut Park at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 4,361 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Walnut Park at the 12th national percentile — 5 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
