Beasley's 360 buildings earn a 67th-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 Beasley at the 70th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.
Where Beasley's buildings actually sit
78.6% of Beasley's 360 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 21.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
