More than half of the 2 million homes deemed at high risk are in Southern California, with 417,543 in L.A. County, study finds. More homes face high risk of being destroyed in a wildfire in densely populated Los Angeles County than in any other county in the state, according to new insurance industry research that underscores that fire danger is not confined to rural areas.
