We’ve created a visual guide to where wildfire risk is rising—and where opportunities for mitigation exist.

Wildfire Risk Is Rising Nationwide

Wildfire seasons are getting longer, more destructive, and harder to predict—and they’re no longer just a Western U.S. concern. From the Southeast to the Midwest, wildfire risk is emerging in places many insurers haven’t traditionally watched.

What the Latest Data Reveals About Wildfire Exposure

Drawing from the latest national datasets and insights from ZestyAI’s Z-FIRE™ model, this visual guide to wildfire risk in the U.S. shows:

  • New wildfire hotspots: Discover where risk is rising fastest.
  • Mitigation gaps: Learn how a lack of defensible space is putting thousands of homes in danger across the country.
  • Top risk drivers: See how features like overhanging trees and wooden roofs are fueling destruction in high-risk areas.
