Aldora, GA
How exposed is Aldora to wildfire?
Aldora's 83 buildings earn a 69th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Aldora at the 72nd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Aldora's building exposure, zone by zone
83 buildings are counted in Aldora, and 78.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 21.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Aldora against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Aldora's 69th national percentile and its 63rd percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aldora ranks 9,667 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,755 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 249 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Aldora and the insurance market
At the 69th percentile nationally, Aldora carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Aldora (78.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Aldora's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Aldora's 9,667-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Aldora's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
