This page is built from the Butte County data pack: risk samples on a grid across the county, of which 16 fell inside ZIP 95966. Scores are informational decision support — not a substitute for official evacuation orders, a fire-agency hazard determination, or an insurer's underwriting judgement, and never a measurement of any individual property.

## What does _your parcel_ look like, layer by layer?

A ZIP median is the middle of a neighbourhood. An address-level Satelife report shows where in that spread your property actually sits — PDF, per-layer score, and a prioritized mitigation plan.
