The nearest one, **4.6 km** away near Palo Cedro, scores **52.6** out of 100 — **High**, below the Shasta County middle of 66.5.\n\n[Score my 96002 address →](#score-my-address) [Open the Shasta County page ↓](/wildfire-risk/california/shasta-county/)\n\nAt a glance\n\n## What we measured in _96002_\n\n52.6 nearest measured point — 4.6 km from this ZIP's centre · High\n\n20–82.5 the range across Shasta County, from 162 points\n\n52% of the way up the county's measured range\n\nPalo Cedro nearest mapped community to this ZIP's centre\n\nThe four tiers on this page are the ones a Satelife address report prints — Low below 25, Moderate to 50, High to 75, Very High above it. Our grid samples the county about every 2.3 km, and this ZIP is small enough to sit between two of those points — so the number above is the closest reading to it, not a reading of it. Either way, two houses in this ZIP can sit in different tiers, and the only way to know which is to score the parcel.\n\nWhat does your 96002 address score?\n\nThe ZIP number above is a neighbourhood median. Slope, the fuel touching the structure, the road out and the fire history within a mile are measured at the address itself.\n\nFree to request · PDF report with a 0–100 score, the drivers behind it, and a mitigation plan\n\nFire record\n\n## The fires _nearest to here_\n\nDistances are from the centre of ZIP 96002 to the centre of each fire's mapped perimeter, so a large fire's edge may have come far closer than the number suggests. The full record for the county — every named fire, the acreage and the share of the county burned — is on the [Shasta County page](/wildfire-risk/california/shasta-county/).\n\nJones Fire 1999 · 26,203 acres · Shasta County 16_km away_\n\nZogg Fire 2020 · 56,338 acres · Shasta County 28_km away_\n\nCarr Fire 2018 · 229,686 acres · Shasta County 30_km away_\n\nHirz Fire 2018 · 40,608 acres · Shasta County 51_km away_\n\nDelta Fire 2018 · 63,506 acres · Shasta County 54_km away_\n\nWhere to go next\n\n## ZIP 96002 _in context_\n\n[Wildfire risk in Shasta County The full county page: fire record, what drives the score, communities](/wildfire-risk/california/shasta-county/) [California wildfire risk Every county we publish in the state](/wildfire-risk/california/) [How Satelife calculates wildfire risk Data sources, layers, score composition, honest limits](/wildfire-risk/methodology/) [Run a report for a 96002 address PDF + score + mitigation plan](/#cta)\n\nThis page is built from the Shasta County data pack: risk samples on a grid across the county, of which none fell inside ZIP 96002 — the reading above is the closest sampled point, 4.6 km from its centre. 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.\n\n## What does _your parcel_ look like, layer by layer?\n\nA 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.\n\n[Start with your address →](/#cta)\n\n[![PRR](/images/prr.png)](/ficha-de-website-voucher-satelife.pdf)\n\n© 2024–2026 Satelife, Lda.
