Woodville, CA
Woodville, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodville sits at the 79th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 588 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 Woodville at the 81st percentile, close to its 79th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 72.8% of Woodville's 588 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 27.2% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Woodville against the rest of the country
Inside California, Woodville sits at just the 39th percentile even though it scores 79th 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, Woodville ranks 6,548 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,986 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 956 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodville
Woodville's 79th-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 Woodville
