Daleville, AL
How exposed is Daleville to wildfire?
Daleville sits at the 49th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,510 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Daleville at the 50th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Daleville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Daleville's 2,510 counted buildings, 55.8% 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 Daleville ranks
Inside Alabama, Daleville sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 49th 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, Daleville ranks 16,092 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,281 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 555 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Daleville
Daleville's elevated wildfire rating (49th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 55.8% of Daleville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
