Bloomingdale, GA
Bloomingdale, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bloomingdale lands at the 64th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,990 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bloomingdale at the 65th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Bloomingdale: 91.4% of its 1,990 buildings, versus 7.3% Indirect and 1.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
