California has 477,039 homes in areas at “high” or “very high” risk of wildfire hazard, Zillow reports.
The homes together are valued at $268.2 billion, and cost $550,000 on average, including the land.
Zooming into the metro level, Zillow analyzed the wildfire risk to homes in four areas: Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and Sacramento.
Among those four, Riverside has the most at-risk homes — 113,520 — while the homes at risk in the Los Angeles area have by far the highest average value at more than $1 million.
