(Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodland Heights's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 29th percentile nationally.

Woodland Heights's moderate wildfire rating (30th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Woodland Heights
