California top concern
Wildfire (WUI), seismic, water-supply variability
California carries the highest concentrated WUI wildfire risk in the US per USFS WHP, with FAIR Plan + non-renewal pressure intensifying since 2017 fires. FEMA NFHL coverage is strong; drinking-water systems vary from large urban (LADWP, EBMUD) to small disadvantaged community systems flagged in EPA SDWIS. Radon risk is mostly Zone 2-3.
See California state page for the full state-level rollup across all 12 dimensions.
