Danielsville, GA
Danielsville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Danielsville at the 63rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 488 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Danielsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.
Danielsville's building exposure, zone by zone
70.3% of Danielsville's 488 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 343 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 29.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Danielsville against the rest of the country
Danielsville ranks lower within Georgia (33rd percentile statewide) than its 63rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Danielsville ranks 11,623 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,561 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 451 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Danielsville and the insurance market
Danielsville's high rating (63rd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Danielsville (70.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
