Homes = single-family houses where the records identify them, otherwise lots zoned or coded single-family (marked “lots”). Percentages are shares of the homes counted in that neighborhood. The records here don’t publish year built or house size widely enough to show. “Partly unmapped” = some homes sit in an area the state hasn’t evaluated for liquefaction or landslides.

- 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.
