Comer, GA
Comer wildfire risk explained
Comer's 736 buildings earn a 64th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Comer's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
736 buildings are counted in Comer, and 76% 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.
Comer against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Comer sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 64th 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, Comer ranks 11,370 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,257 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 427 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
Comer's high rating (64th 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 Comer (76%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
