Beulaville, NC
Beulaville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Beulaville at the 45th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 778 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Beulaville at the 45th percentile, close to its 45th-percentile risk score.
Beulaville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Beulaville's buildings (60.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Beulaville compares
Inside North Carolina, Beulaville sits at just the 25th percentile even though it scores 45th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Beulaville ranks 17,371 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,834 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 581 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Beulaville
At the 45th national percentile, Beulaville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Beulaville (60.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
