Coronaca, SC
Coronaca, SC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Coronaca sits at the 66th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 157 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Coronaca at the 69th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
Where Coronaca's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Coronaca: 87.3% of its 157 buildings, versus 12.7% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Coronaca against the rest of the country
Coronaca's 66th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 40th ranking inside South Carolina does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 26 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coronaca ranks 10,783 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,584 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 288 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Coronaca
At the 66th percentile nationally, Coronaca carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
