Dasher, GA
How exposed is Dasher to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Dasher lands at the 74th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 607 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dasher at the 72nd percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Dasher's 607 counted buildings, 94.9% 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 Dasher ranks
There's little gap between Dasher's 74th national percentile and its 78th percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dasher ranks 8,319 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,729 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 150 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dasher
Dasher's high rating (74th 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 Dasher (94.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
