Brundidge, AL
Brundidge, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Brundidge's 1,418 buildings earn a 57th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Brundidge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
Brundidge's building exposure, zone by zone
53.2% of Brundidge's 1,418 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 754 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 46.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Brundidge ranks
Brundidge's 57th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 19th ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 39 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brundidge ranks 13,382 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,546 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 482 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Brundidge's elevated wildfire rating (57th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 53.2% of Brundidge in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
