Brunswick, MD
Brunswick, MD's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Brunswick sits at the 31st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,784 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brunswick at the 29th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Brunswick's buildings actually sit
2,784 buildings are counted in Brunswick, and 79.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 16.4% in Direct exposure or the 4.4% rated Minimal.
Brunswick against the rest of the country
Within Maryland, Brunswick ranks higher (48th percentile) than it does nationally (31st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brunswick ranks 21,770 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,798 by building count (1 is largest). Within Maryland alone, it ranks 274 of 527 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Maryland on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Brunswick
Brunswick's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 79.2% of Brunswick's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
