Alonzaville, VA
Alonzaville wildfire risk explained
Alonzaville sits at the 70th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 158 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Alonzaville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 69th percentile nationally.
Alonzaville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Alonzaville's 158 counted buildings, 99.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Alonzaville ranks
Alonzaville scores 70th nationally and 82nd within Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Alonzaville ranks 9,472 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 121 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Alonzaville
At the 70th percentile nationally, Alonzaville 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.
Hardening a home in Alonzaville
