Wildfire Risk to Communities updated with 2026 Census data

As of April 2026, Wildfire risk to Communities reflects the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, supporting effective community planning and prioritization for wildfire prevention and mitigation. This update includes new communities and Tribal areas in the search feature, refreshed community boundaries on maps, and updated economic and demographic data on the “Vulnerable Populations” tab. There’s also a new option to download maps and charts directly from the site.

This is the ninth major update to Wildfire Risk to Communities since its launch in 2020. More improvements are planned for early 2027, including a comprehensive, nationwide update to wildfire risk data.
