Bolingbroke, GA
Bolingbroke, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Bolingbroke at the 72nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 322 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bolingbroke at the 74th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bolingbroke's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Bolingbroke: 87% of its 322 buildings, versus 13% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
