T R I N ITY This dataset was developed for the 2015 Assessment of Forest and Rangelands. It is derived from
L A S SEN
S H A STA several data sources, including housing density (input_lsn_HousingDensity12_2), Fire Hazard
Redding Severity Zones (FHSZ_Assessment11_1), Unimproved Parcels (input_UnimprovedParcels16_1),
! and Vegetation Cover (input_FVEG15_2). The current dataset is appropriate for displaying the overall
H U M B OLDT pattern of WUI development at the county level, and comparing counties in terms of development patterns.
Until the dataset is refined through a field review process, it is not suited for WUI designations for individual
houses or neighborhoods.

Housing Density Classes used in the WUI definitions:
1 - Less than one house per 20 acres
T E H AMA 2 - One house per 20 acres to one house per 5 acres
3 - More than one house per 5 acres to 1 house per acre
P L U MAS 4 - More than 1 house per acre

Wildland Urban Interface is dense housing adjacent to vegetation that can burn in a wildfire and must meet
these criteria:
•Housing density class 2, 3 or 4
B U T TE •In moderate, high, or very high Fire Hazard Severity Zone
G L E NN
M E N D O CINO S I E RRA •Not dominated by wildland vegetation (i.e., lifeform not herbaceous, hardwood, conifer or shrub)
•Spatially contiguous groups of 30m cells that are10 acres and larger

N E V ADA Wildland Urban Intermix is housing development interspersed in an area dominated by wildland
vegetation subject to wildfire and must meet these criteria:
