Camak, GA
Camak, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Camak's 131 buildings earn a 75th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Camak at the 77th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Camak's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 87% of Camak's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 13% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 114 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Camak against the rest of the country
Camak scores 75th nationally and 81st within Georgia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Camak ranks 7,873 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,657 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 125 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
Camak's 75th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Camak (87%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Camak's figures come from
Camak's 75th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Camak's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
