Crawford, GA
How exposed is Crawford to wildfire?
USFS scores Crawford at the 68th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 406 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crawford at the 71st national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Crawford's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Crawford's 406 counted buildings, 53% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Crawford ranks
Crawford's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (57th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (68th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crawford ranks 10,142 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,094 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 286 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crawford
At the 68th percentile nationally, Crawford 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Crawford's 53% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
