Between, GA
How exposed is Between to wildfire?
Between sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 184 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Between's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Between's building exposure, zone by zone
184 buildings are counted in Between, and 91.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Between against the rest of the country
Between ranks lower within Georgia (15th percentile statewide) than its 58th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Between ranks 13,201 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,451 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 566 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Between and the insurance market
At the 58th national percentile, Between rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Between's 91.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Between's figures come from
Between's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Between's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
