Crawfordville, GA
Crawfordville wildfire risk explained
Crawfordville sits at the 75th 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 458 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crawfordville at the 77th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
