City View, SC
How exposed is City View to wildfire?
USFS scores City View at the 48th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 573 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, City View's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
City View's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 7.5% of City View's 573 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 92.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How City View compares
Inside South Carolina, City View sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 48th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, City View ranks 16,433 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,202 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 469 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
City View and the insurance market
At the 48th national percentile, City View rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 92.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, City View gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
City View's 48th-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 City View, see the exposure-zones guide.
