More than 2.6 million homes in 14 states are at a moderate to very high risk of wildfire damage in 2024, according to an August report from CoreLogic, an analytics and insights company.
The report also finds that just three states — California, Colorado, and Texas — make up 70% of that risk, with Oregon and Arizona right behind them.
