Dancyville, TN
How exposed is Dancyville to wildfire?
Dancyville sits at the 52nd 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 94 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dancyville at the 54th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Dancyville's 94 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 94 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Dancyville against the rest of the country
Dancyville scores 52nd nationally and 45th within Tennessee — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 275 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dancyville
Dancyville's elevated rating (52nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Dancyville's 100% 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.
More on how this number was built
Dancyville's 52nd-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 Dancyville, see the exposure-zones guide.
