PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — A Pepperdine School of Public Policy and Beacon Economics report released around the anniversary found post-wildfire rebuilding in California is far slower than commonly assumed: about 76% of homes lost in the 2017 Tubbs fire were rebuilt within six years, but fewer than 30% of Camp fire homes were rebuilt within five.
Households planning finances and temporary housing should budget against multi-year, not one-year, timelines.
