Coffeeville, AL
Coffeeville, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Coffeeville at the 65th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 319 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Coffeeville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.
Coffeeville's building exposure, zone by zone
319 buildings are counted in Coffeeville, and 92.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Coffeeville ranks
Inside Alabama, Coffeeville sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 65th 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, Coffeeville ranks 10,986 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,108 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 378 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Coffeeville and the insurance market
Coffeeville's 65th-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
With 92.5% of Coffeeville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Coffeeville's 65th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Coffeeville, see the exposure-zones guide.
