Centerville, GA
How exposed is Centerville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Centerville lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 3,419 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Centerville at the 57th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Centerville's buildings (60.8% of 3,419) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Centerville ranks
Centerville's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Centerville ranks 13,766 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,888 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 580 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Centerville and the insurance market
At the 56th national percentile, Centerville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Centerville
Even with 60.8% of Centerville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Centerville's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Centerville, see the exposure-zones guide.
