Culloden, GA
Culloden wildfire risk explained
Culloden's 149 buildings earn a 77th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Culloden's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
149 buildings are counted in Culloden, and 91.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Culloden compares
There's little gap between Culloden's 77th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Culloden ranks 7,113 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,907 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 90 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Culloden
Culloden's high rating (77th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Culloden
Because Direct exposure dominates in Culloden (91.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Culloden's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Culloden, see the exposure-zones guide.
