Cuthbert, GA
How exposed is Cuthbert to wildfire?
Cuthbert's 1,954 buildings earn a 66th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cuthbert at the 65th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Cuthbert's 1,954 counted buildings, 62.9% 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 Cuthbert ranks
Inside Georgia, Cuthbert sits at just the 46th percentile even though it scores 66th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cuthbert ranks 10,801 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,604 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 359 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cuthbert
At the 66th percentile nationally, Cuthbert 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
Cuthbert's 62.9% 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.
