Dewy Rose, GA
How exposed is Dewy Rose to wildfire?
Dewy Rose sits at the 66th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 115 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dewy Rose at the 69th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Dewy Rose's 115 counted buildings, 93% 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.
How Dewy Rose compares
Inside Georgia, Dewy Rose sits at just the 47th percentile even though it scores 66th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dewy Rose ranks 10,802 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,400 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 360 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Dewy Rose and the insurance market
At the 66th percentile nationally, Dewy Rose carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Dewy Rose
With 93% of Dewy Rose 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.
