Cramerton, NC
Cramerton wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cramerton at the 50th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 2,175 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cramerton at the 54th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Cramerton's buildings actually sit
51.3% of Cramerton's 2,175 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,115 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 46.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 2.1% are Minimal.
