Where Deltaville's buildings actually sit

9.9%Indirect exposure
26.5%Minimal exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Deltaville: 63.6% of its 1,841 buildings, versus 9.9% Indirect and 26.5% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Where Deltaville ranks

There's little gap between Deltaville's 40th national percentile and its 32nd percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Deltaville ranks 19,022 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,951 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 463 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.

Deltaville and the insurance market

Deltaville's moderate rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

What would actually reduce this score

Deltaville's 63.6% 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

Deltaville's 40th-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 Deltaville, see the exposure-zones guide.
