LA Fires Case Study
By the end of January 2025, wildfires in Los Angeles had destroyed or damaged over 18,000 structures, claimed at least 29 lives and forced approximately 200,000 residents to evacuate.
Alarmingly, fewer than a quarter of damaged properties were insured against fire. The event is the costliest wildfire in U.S. history, impacting the insurance industry globally. Following the fires, several clients with assets in the affected region asked XDI to run an analysis of current and future fire risk in the area as well as across California more broadly.
In this case study XDI focused on comparing the results of its modelling with the real areas affected by the 2025 LA fires, and future forest fire risk in LA County and California more broadly under a high emissions scenario (RCP 8.5/SSP5-8.5) in five-year intervals from 1990 until 2100.
