Campobello, SC
Campobello, SC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Campobello at the 66th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 481 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Campobello at the 69th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
76.5% of Campobello's 481 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 368 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 23.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Campobello compares
Campobello's 66th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 38th ranking inside South Carolina does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 28 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Campobello ranks 10,851 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,693 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 295 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Campobello and the insurance market
Campobello's high rating (66th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Campobello (76.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
