The nearest one, **27.6 km** away near unincorporated Modoc County, scores **74.8** out of 100 — **High**, above the Modoc County middle of 62.\n\n[Score my 97623 address →](#score-my-address) [Open the Modoc County page ↓](/wildfire-risk/california/modoc-county/)\n\nAt a glance\n\n## What we measured in _97623_\n\n74.8 nearest measured point — 27.6 km from this ZIP's centre · High\n\n21.3–76.7 the range across Modoc County, from 154 points\n\n97% of the way up the county's measured range\n\nModoc County 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 97623 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 97623 to the centre of each fire's mapped perimeter, so a large fire's edge may have come far closer than the number suggests.

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.
