Aynor, SC
How exposed is Aynor to wildfire?
Aynor's 613 buildings earn a 71st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Aynor at the 69th percentile, close to its 71st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
613 buildings are counted in Aynor, and 52.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 47.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Aynor ranks
Aynor scores 71st nationally and 61st within South Carolina — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aynor ranks 9,178 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,663 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 185 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 71st percentile nationally, Aynor 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 52.9% of Aynor's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Aynor's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Aynor's 9,178-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Aynor's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
