How we counted

Neighborhoods
Our Sunnyvale neighborhood guides, using the outline drawn for each guide (approximate; neighboring outlines can overlap). Guides with fewer than 20 counted homes are left out.
Homes
Single-family houses where the records identify them, otherwise lots zoned or coded single-family. Condos and townhomes are not counted. These are the same homes as on our Flood & Fire, Lot Size and Earthquake Zones pages.
Lot size
The median parcel lot area: the parcel record’s lot area where the source publishes one, otherwise the area of the mapped parcel outline. Approximate; confirm a parcel’s size with the county assessor or a title report.
Flood
FEMA high-risk flood zones (A, AE, AH or AO) at each parcel’s center, on FEMA’s flood maps as of October 2026.
Fire
Any part of the lot inside a CAL FIRE fire hazard severity zone (Moderate, High or Very High), counted once in its highest zone, on CAL FIRE’s current maps as of October 2026.
Earthquake zones
The California Geological Survey’s liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslide and Alquist-Priolo fault zones as published in October 2026, judged at each parcel’s center.
