Woodbridge, CA
How exposed is Woodbridge to wildfire?
Woodbridge sits at the 30th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,532 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodbridge at the 29th percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Woodbridge rates 91.3% Minimal exposure against just 8.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,532 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Woodbridge compares
Inside California, Woodbridge sits at just the 3rd percentile even though it scores 30th 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, Woodbridge ranks 22,019 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,026 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,524 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Woodbridge and the insurance market
Woodbridge 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 30th-percentile score like Woodbridge's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
With 91.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Woodbridge gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Woodbridge's figures come from
Woodbridge's 30th-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 Woodbridge's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
