Dublin, GA
How exposed is Dublin to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dublin at the 61st national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 7,575 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dublin at the 62nd percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.
Dublin's building exposure, zone by zone
7,575 buildings are counted in Dublin, and 53.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 44.2% in Direct exposure or the 2.6% rated Minimal. At 7,575 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Dublin against the rest of the country
Dublin's 61st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 23rd ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dublin ranks 12,255 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,258 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 515 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Dublin and the insurance market
Dublin's 61st-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.
Hardening a home in Dublin
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Dublin (53.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
