Broxton, GA
Broxton, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Broxton sits at the 64th 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 732 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Broxton at the 64th percentile, close to its 64th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Broxton: 60.9% of its 732 buildings, versus 39.1% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Broxton against the rest of the country
Broxton ranks lower within Georgia (37th percentile statewide) than its 64th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Broxton ranks 11,368 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,305 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 425 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Broxton's high rating (64th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Broxton (60.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
