Creedmoor, NC
Creedmoor, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Creedmoor lands at the 41st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 2,121 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Creedmoor at the 42nd percentile, close to its 41st-percentile risk score.
Creedmoor's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 58.3% of Creedmoor's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 41.7% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,237 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Creedmoor ranks
Creedmoor's 41st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 17th ranking inside North Carolina does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Creedmoor ranks 18,630 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,143 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 641 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Creedmoor
Creedmoor's elevated rating (41st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
