Dellrose, TN
Dellrose, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dellrose's 121 buildings earn a 32nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dellrose's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Dellrose's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 99.2% of Dellrose's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0.8% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 120 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Dellrose against the rest of the country
Dellrose scores 32nd nationally and 21st within Tennessee — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dellrose ranks 21,538 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,133 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 400 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 32nd national percentile, Dellrose rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Dellrose's 99.2% 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
Dellrose's 32nd-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 Dellrose, see the exposure-zones guide.
