Deenwood, GA
Deenwood wildfire risk explained
Deenwood's 1,284 buildings earn a 64th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Deenwood at the 64th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Deenwood's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Deenwood: 63.6% of its 1,284 buildings, versus 27.8% Indirect and 8.6% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Deenwood ranks

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 419 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Deenwood and the insurance market
Deenwood's high rating (64th 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
With 63.6% of Deenwood 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.
