Blue Clay Farms, NC
Blue Clay Farms, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Blue Clay Farms sits at the 67th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 147 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Blue Clay Farms's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.
Blue Clay Farms's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Blue Clay Farms's buildings (44.9% of 147) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Blue Clay Farms ranks

Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 256 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Blue Clay Farms
Blue Clay Farms's high rating (67th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 44.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Blue Clay Farms gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
