Doerun, GA
How exposed is Doerun to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Doerun at the 56th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 561 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Doerun at the 55th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Doerun's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Doerun (55.8% of 561 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 44.2% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Doerun ranks
Doerun's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Doerun ranks 13,799 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,387 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 582 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
At the 56th national percentile, Doerun rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Doerun
Because 55.8% of Doerun's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Doerun's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Doerun's 13,799-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Doerun's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
