Dublin, MS
How exposed is Dublin to wildfire?
Dublin sits at the 23rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 62 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dublin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
Where Dublin's buildings actually sit
66.1% of Dublin's 62 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 33.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Dublin against the rest of the country
Inside Mississippi, Dublin sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 23rd 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, Dublin ranks 24,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,580 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 391 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dublin
Dublin's moderate wildfire rating (23rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Dublin
Even with 66.1% of Dublin outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
