Dillard, GA
Dillard, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dillard's 293 buildings earn a 78th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dillard's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 81st percentile nationally.
Dillard's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Dillard's 293 counted buildings, 78.5% 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 Dillard compares
There's little gap between Dillard's 78th national percentile and its 89th percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dillard ranks 6,868 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,811 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 76 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Dillard's 78th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 78.5% of Dillard 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.
