Chimney care in the 530 area
Around Chico, Redding and Yuba City, earthquakes, wildfire risk and local burn rules all shape chimney care. Masonry chimneys can crack in a quake, which is why NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection after an event like that. Many areas have no-burn days or spark arrestor rules; check with your local air district and fire department.
The Census Bureau counts about 580,900 homes and apartments in the 530 territory. 49.4% were built before 1980 and 5.9% before 1940, lower than the California figure of 57.5% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1980s, and 70.4% of homes are single-family detached houses.
40.4% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 27.6% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 11.8% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
Wood heat is common in this area. Homes that burn wood as their main heat build creosote faster than occasional fireplace users, so plan on more frequent cleaning.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 73% of residents live in climate zone 3B (warm, dry), and the rest mostly in 5B (cool, dry) and 4B (mixed, dry).
